Though the Qatar 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup is for many a symbol of
long-standing corruption and human rights problems, the event may
actually represent something entirely new. Megasports are now
demonstrating a capacity to leave what this book calls a human
rights and anti-corruption legacy: norms, practices, policies, or
laws that have application beyond sport, are likely to endure after
the event, and the implementation of which is accelerated by
hosting the event. In the 2010s, Brazil's hosting of the FIFA Men's
World Cup and Summer Olympics, and then South Korea's hosting of
the Winter Olympics, left what this book calls reactive,
accidental, and one-dimensional anti-corruption legacies. Most
would be shocked to find that Qatar now moves this legacy concept
forward, undertaking to create megasports' first intentional and
proactive human rights legacy. The first and perhaps best
opportunity to build a proactive, intentional, and two-dimensional
human rights and anti-corruption legacy lies in France, as it
prepares to host the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics while implementing
new landmark anti-corruption and human rights laws. The concept may
still advance in Australia and New Zealand (2023 FIFA Women's World
Cup) and Italy (2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics). However, the
United Bid of Canada, the United States, and Mexico has promised
the first proactive, intentional, and two-dimensional legacy around
the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. The book analyzes existing megasport
policies and practices, then suggests reforms to acknowledge and
support these new legacies.
