    Lleida CF

    127. Lleida CF To create something bigger than football from the ashes of your club which has twice been driven to bankruptcy shows a desire that many football clubs dream of. We're joined by Jordan Thomas from La Liga and Beyond and Juanjo Lecumberri, club vice-president, to talk about the recent revival of Lleida CF, who are starting life for a third time in the tenth tier of football in Spain. The difference between the former club and the latest iteration of Lleida CF is that the power of controlling and representing the club now belongs to the supporters. ⁠Subscribe to The Footbal Heritage Extra on Patreon for £3 per month and get an additional podcast every Thursday.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X (formerly Twitter)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For enquiries, feedback or suggestions please email hello@footballheritage.co.uk.

    122.

    The World Cup and Resistance

    121. The World Cup and Resistance We're joined by author and journalist Simon Kuper to cover the wide-ranging subject of resistance at the World Cup. The World Cup is many things. In the same way that the tournament is often used by regimes and governments for legitimisation and to sportswash, the World Cup also has a strong heritage of protest and resistance. There is no greater platform to spread your message and promote your cause, and at World Cup 2026, protest has played a central role.
