Legacy. It’s a word that has become increasingly more important in sport over the last couple of decades – particularly in relation to the justification for bidding for, and the awarding of sporting events to certain places.

Football, too, has become obsessed by the notion of legacy; which we intend to explore via one avenue or another in this, our 20th issue. Russia 2018 will be the 21st renewal of the FIFA World Cup finals which gives us ample reason to look back at the previous twenty (note the not-so-clever link to the issue number) in order to find each one’s lasting ‘gift’ to the planet’s most popular sporting competition.
