World Football

Available for over a year

Football's biggest stories of the week on the BBC. In this week's World Football, we're in Madrid for the start of the new Spanish season - but will Real Madrid's spending spree result in success on-and-off the pitch? Once upon a time, the role of FIFA was to develop the game and organise tournaments. Now, it seems, football's governing body wants to make the world a better place. We hear about their latest initiative. And from the treatment table to Table Mountain, the South African defender Quinton Fortune tells us about his hopes for World Cup success in his home country. Presented by Alan Green.
