Fotball er dessverre også gjenstand for politisk manipulasjon, hat og vold. Et eksempel er Midtøsten, med striden rundt det kommende verdensmesterskapet i Qatar 2022 World Cup, den ekstreme fotballvolden i Egypt og det iranske regimets angivelige bruk av landslaget for å fremme sin egen agenda. Se og hør James M. Dorsey snakke om fotball og politikk i Midtøsten i videoen under. Washington Institute.
Se forøvrig under for en liten bibliografi om fotball og internasjonale relasjoner, inklusive et eget nettsted dedikert til temaet.
