This resource looks at the pros and cons of building huge stadiums for global sporting events. It examines what is good and bad about stadiums, looks at some health and safety problems with the stadium at Ekaterinberg. It challenges students to write to the organisers of the World Cup expressing concerns about health and safety at the venues and to think about legacy issues. After showing them what happened to the Olympic stadiums in Athens and Montreal it asks students to examine the proposal that the 2030 World Cup might be stages in Argentina and that several new stadiums should be built. Hopefully, they won’t fall for it!

Geography of the World Cup (Russia 2018)
This little bundle of four lessons will enable you to keep your students focused during the tournament. It will last as long as the England team do, anyway; about a fortnight, although you could extend some of the activities if we get past the group stages. There's one lesson that focuses on location, a second on the benefits and problems of running a global sporting event, another on building big stadiums and a fourth on examining hypotheses using correlation.
