On December 8th, the fight against racism in football made a monumental turn. The Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain was suspended after Sebastian Coltescu – the game’s fourth official – was accused of racism after he advised the head referee to give Basaksehir assistant coach Pierre Webo a red card for his behaviour on the sidelines.

Both teams walked off the field in protest, setting an example for the rest of football. In this special programme TRT World Sports presenter Samantha Johnson talks to Istanbul Basaksehir’s Pierre Webo and Demba Ba about that night at the Parc des Princes, and what needs to change in the so called 'beautiful game.'

'Breonna Taylor was murdered, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered and then, as we all know, George Floyd was murdered. So just strung together, it made it difficult to focus on anything else,' Renee Montgomery explains why she opted out of the 2020 WNBA season to focus on social justice issues. The 11-year veteran has joined the LeBron James-led 'More Than A Vote' campaign and believes teams can support players by amplifying their voices. 'Allow players to speak about how they feel. A lot of times athletes didn't speak out because they knew their teams wouldn't like it.'

In 78 test matches he scored more than 5,000 test runs, at an average of just over 44. Top scoring with 274 against England in just his second test.

Twice in the space of seven days we've seen record attendances for a woman's league match in Europe. A crowd of 61 thousand turned out for the Atletico Madrid and Barcelona game. And history was also made in Italy where more than 39 thousand spectators watched Juventus women against Fiorentina. It is a different story altogether here in Turkey, where the country's football passion isn't quite reflected in the women's game. But there's one team in the south. Samantha Johnson travelled to Hakkari and spent some time with a team in the top flight of women' football, hoping to tackle perceptions both on and off the pitch.

Every year football gets bigger. In the lifetime of us, the fans, we've seen so much money trade hands on virtually everything. Players are now valued in the hundreds of millions. Tinder sponsors Manchester City. To the cynic it seems like everything is for sale.
With the case of jailed footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi stuck in a Thai jail, football is currently trying to rediscover the value of the life of each and every footballer, regardless of their fame, or value... that each one is as important as the next. So on Beyond the Game we'll attempt to look at the lives of those whose journey has not always been smooth, whose lives have not yet reached their goal, the lives of African footballers making their way around the world in the pursuit of a dream that is so often crushed by those in it for a quick buck.
