During the 1894 World’s Fair in Antwerp, 144 Congolese people were forcibly taken to the Belgian city and displayed in the Congo Pavilion. The exhibition, described as a “human zoo”, ended with seven Congolese men dying from disease. More than a century later, the episode continues to haunt Belgium.

SportsFIFA institutional tensions: Infantino’s failed Forward Entity proposal sparks governance crisis

International sports journalist Thando Sibiya presents FIFA’s governance crisis as the result of deeper tensions that have built up during Gianni Infantino’s presidency. She says the proposed sale of a permanent stake in FIFA’s commercial rights acted as a catalyst, exposing disputes over governance, legitimacy, commercialisation and geopolitical influence. The controversy is linked to the resignation of a key adviser, UEFA’s increasingly confrontational position, disputes over referee protections and differing interests between UEFA and CAF. Together, these issues form a wider struggle over who will shape and govern the future of world football.
