Fifa Imperialism Map Jun 2026

Africa sends more players to Europe than any other continent. Yet it has hosted only one men’s World Cup (South Africa, 2010). On the FIFA Imperialism Map, Africa is a giant resource extraction zone. FIFA’s development money often ends up in corruption (the long reign of Issa Hayatou). Meanwhile, European clubs run “academies” in Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Mali that function as feeder systems. The map shows Africa as a supplier, not a decision-maker.

No empire is monolithic. The FIFA Imperialism Map is also a map of resistance. fifa imperialism map
