DIALOGUES Football Will Save The World
On Friday, July 13th, 2018, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) held the ninth event of the series DIALOGUES under the title “Football will save the world.” For the first time ever, DIALOGUES were held outdoors, within the Great Lawn area of the Stavros Niarchos Park and with a focus on the king of Sports, football.
Just before the closing curtain of the 21st World Cup, professional football players and veterans, along with coaches, sports reporters and experts talked about the unseen side of football as a social and cultural phenomenon with a variety of different meanings, focusing on the various aspects of the beloved sport, which excites fans on a massive scale all over the world. Of course, no football discussion could ever be complete without the “star” of sports news, the World Cup, the goals and the best moments that marked the history of Greek and world football, as well as a special mention to current football culture in Greece.
