After right-wing, anti-immigration parties scored big in the latest European election, players of African descent have thrilled football fans at the UEFA Euro Championship in Germany. Amid racist chants of "foreigners out," in the stands and Euro-identitarianism on social media, football has become a flashpoint where nationalism meets inclusion, and where the line between politics and sport blurs. DW host Cai Nebe wonders what a tournament bereft of the talents of Kylian Mbappe, Bukayo Saka, Lamine Yamal, and Jamal Musiala would look like. He speaks with African football coach Ghost Mulee, journalist Ololade Adewuyi, fan culture specialist Felix Tamsut about how racism can be booted out.
