Football and the media have always been closely connected. Join former TV and radio commentator Beni Thurnheer on an exciting media journey through time at the FIFA Museum.
The history of the FIFA World Cup is also a reflection of the evolution of the media: from little to more and more, from local to global, from purely informative to entertaining. Football-specific expressions such as the 'Wembley goal' or the 'hand of God' found their way into common usage. Using selected objects from the FIFA Museum exhibition, former television and radio commentator Beni Thurnheer shows the close entanglement of football and the media.
In 1930, at the first FIFA World Cup in Uruguay, not a single European journalist sat in a stadium. What will it be like at the next World Cup in Qatar in 2022? How much space in the stadium will the press box take up then? And what about radio? What has changed since the first World Cup almost 100 years ago?
