Project Fussball – DW's German Football Podcast
With more and more clubs and organisations in football getting involved in new areas of the digital world, season four of Project Fussball explores football's involvement with the Blockchain, NFTs and cryptocurrencies.
After seasons looking at the impact of COVID-19, German identity in football and the 50+1 rule, season four of Project Fussball dares to try and understand a new digital world that football clubs are exploring.
For many, the Blockchain, NFTs and cryptocurrencies remain a foreign language, but these new areas in the digital world look here to stay.
In this season, we start by asking the FAQs about this world and then hear from an investigative journalist who has done research in this field. Then we speak to Wolfsburg about their venture into Web3, and from companies themselves about how and why they're in this field.
We also speak to research experts and those connected in German football to try not only to understand what this world in relation to football, but what impact it is and will have on the game, clubs and fans.
Project Fussball
Everyone knows who scored the winner on Saturday in the Bundesliga and which games Germany have before the World Cup, but what about the bigger topics in the world's most popular sport?
Project Fussball is a podcast dedicated to the stories, not scorelines, reasons, not results of German football.
In Germany, football is deeply woven into the tapestry of society, so what are the stories beyond the score lines? Who should we be listening to? And what must we learn from them?
Writer, commentator and podcaster James Thorogood will host the show, but the stars of Project Fussball will be the guests and experts as we look to dive into a diverse range of topics with a variety of voices.
You can get in touch with the show via Twitter, Instagram.
Join us as we explore the role and responsibilities of football and tackle the issues changing the face of German football culture. For more on season three of Project Fussball head over to page 2.
