The footballer in society
Workshop

Location R2-21
Presence On site
Hourly –
The World Cup in Qatar has sparked off or rekindled many debates about the place of footballers in society. These debates concern social, societal and environmental issues.
The questions are many. Do footballers deserve their wages? Is soccer political? Does the French national team have to defend certain “values”? Are salary inequalities between male and female players justified? Can we play “everywhere”? Is there too much money in soccer? Should the “soccer business” be regulated, and how? Should soccer’s governing bodies be reformed?
To discuss these issues, we’ll be offering a range of different perspectives.
Debate moderated by Luc Arrondel, professor at PSE and director of research at CNRS, author with Richard Duhautois of L’Argent du Football (éditions rue d’Ulm). With :
- Paul Dietschy, professor of contemporary history at the University of Franche-Comté, author of Histoire du soccer (Perrin) and editor of Football(s) magazine
- Jacques-Henri Eyraud, Associate Professor at Sciences Po Paris, former Chairman of Olympique de Marseille
- Stéphane Guy, RMC journalist, After Foot
- Capucine Jourdain de Muizon, Development Manager at Graines de Footballeuses
This workshop is co-organized by the Opening Economics Chair and the CEPREMAP.
The Opening Economics Chair allows economists to respond in creative and effective ways to the major questions of our times, by integrating two observations: that current challenges, complex and multifaceted as they are, demand an approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and that economics research must be renewed by advances made in other related disciplines.
