Football and the barriers of hate in Palestine

World Football

Available for over a year

The Palestinian international defender Omar Jarun talks about the difficulties faced by Palestine’s national team and his dream of seeing Palestine play Israel in a football match. We’re in Oman for their World Cup qualifier against Japan, described by the head of the Oman FA as the nation’s biggest ever match. As the suggestion of Euro 2020 being hosted by 12 nations gathers support, we hear an opposing voice from a former international manager. And the European Cup-winner John McGovern remembers the remarkable rise of Nottingham Forest.
