In this first episode of GoalPolitik, we explore the 1934 World Cup: a tournament where football was intertwined with history and, above all, dictatorship.
Benito Mussolini's fascist Italy used the World Cup as a manifesto of modernity and strength. Vittorio Pozzo was a revolutionary coach, an Alpine soldier, a journalist, and a strategist, tasked with assembling a legendary team of South American-born players, champions like Giuseppe Meazza, and the constant shadow of the regime.
