Sports has always been an exciting topic for everyone to talk about. It doesn't merely represent entertainment; rather, it has transcended beyond external influences and power politics. Countries, governments, corporations, etc., aim to use it primarily as a lucrative avenue and a means to project power. Furthermore, while sports has historically had a Eurocentric origin, it has evolved into more than just a pastime for many, including countries in the Global South. Beyond being a source of entertainment and a lifestyle choice, sports has emerged as a significant career option. Undoubtedly, it has the transformative power to shape and change people's lives.
