Welcome to 'VICE World of Sports'

'VICE World of Sports' gets on the field and into the ring through a series of compelling stories at the fringe of culture and politics.

For nearly a year and a half, VICE Sports has chronicled unique stories from around the world that illustrate the relationship between sport and society. Click here to see Season 1.

Now on Digital platforms, VICE Sports is excited to share with you VICE World of Sports. In Season 1, we tell stories that explore broad cultures, politics, places, and people through the one thing that connects them all: sports. You will see people from around the world use sports as a means of finding national pride and rivalry, preserving tradition and history, a way out of an impoverished childhood, a tool for prison reform, or just pure entertainment.

In Season 2, we explore some of the more intense rivalries in sports. Episodes document unique rivalries, ranging from the Superclásico between Boca Juniors and River Plate in Buenos Aires to the former-rivals that merged into one 6-man high school football team from Geraldine and Highwood, Montana. VICE World of Sports: Rivals also looks to the future, capturing exclusive footage of sport's next generation, including Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.'s time in the minor leagues, Miami's youth football hotbed of future NFL talent, and the fastest growing sport—eSports.

Executive Producer and host Selema Masekela traveled to places such as Ghana, Cuba, and Kenya, among many others, to bring you stories you won't see anywhere else, told through VICE's unique point of view.

We hope you enjoy.
