About the world’s greatest pastime

Let’s talk about... with Christian Arbeit from 1. FC Union Berlin

Has football missed the boat? While in many areas of society the awareness of climate-friendly and sustainable action-taking, diversity and social justice is on the rise, professional football seems to be sticking to business as usual: international tournaments are getting ever larger; transfer fees and salaries have reached astronomical proportions; investor involvement in the football league is a topic that keeps cropping up in discussions. But is this really the case? Or is this impression deceptive? Let’s talk about it... – and who could be a better person to discuss it with than Christian Arbeit from the football club 1. FC Union Berlin? His thoughts on these issues are definitely controversial. In this edition of our discussion series “Let’s talk about...”, he’ll be sharing his ideas with Futurium Director Stefan Brandt – and with you.

What would the world be like without football? Around the globe, no other sport has achieved such popularity. Football inspires people of all ages, from all walks of life and with different world views. Not to mention the avalanche of emotions it triggers when our favourite team wins or loses. Football and its culture always reflect societal dynamics, questions and problems too. Even within the world of football, the questions of diversity, sustainability and social justice have recently become major topics. Someone who has put a lot of thought into all this and knows how to formulate it clearly is Christian Arbeit, head of communication, and press and stadium spokesman for 1. FC Union Berlin.
