Abstract

No sooner has the FIFA World Cup 2022 ended, than the next competition, to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 2026, is already at the heart of the sporting, economic and geopolitical questions. As in the case of Qatar, controversies are beginning to surface about the non-environmental nature of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The choice of three neighboring countries, which make up a vast continent, raises the question of the ecological cost of long journeys of several thousand kilometers, which will give priority to air transport. It is as if FIFA were acting with a kind of environmental impunity, which is confirmed by the choices made for the 2030 and 2034 tournaments. One explanation is the major absence of a countervailing power to a non-state body that lays down the rules of the game without ever being challenged. The research note addresses this reality, which raises the problem of the governance of top-level sport, and its recurrent disconnection with societal and environmental issues of the utmost importance.
