69) Sport and international relations should have little in common. However, it is commonly known that world politics
influences sport and viceversa. Sports events can sometimes catalyze political ones. Sport can play a key role in
international relations in various ways. It can, for instance, be used by states or geopolitical blocks to display their alleged
superiority or any other desired characteristic.

Participation in sport is also a very important aspect of sport’s connections with international relations. Although at face
value sport is a competition among athletes, when we look at its international dimension, athletic competition is less
important than competition among nations. A number of political interests can be achieved by states by participating or not
participating in sporting events.

During the Cold War, bilateral sporting events were used repeatedly to increase communication among hostile countries. For
instance Ping‐pong diplomacy, between China and the United States allowed the two nations in the middle of the Cold War
to restart dialogue in a politically divided environment. President Nixon’s diplomatic move opened up relations with China
which resulted in improved bilateral relations between the two nations in the decades to come. Cricket diplomacy between
India and Pakistan offered another illustration of successful sports diplomacy.

Participation in sport and international relations is related not only to the desire of states to be able to compete. The
opposite situation—boycotting an event—can have even greater significance. History shows a number of types of sports
boycott, individual or group, as a protest or as a means of exerting pressure. The reason can also vary. It can be the politics
of the host of the event, of the sports organization, or sometimes even of a completely different actor. The most
recognised boycotts are by a group of countries during the Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games. Thus, sport
is also a matter of international prestige. The ideological rivalry between the two superpowers post‐second world war till the
late 1980s was evident even in international sporting events and games. The Americans seemed to have noticed this at the
beginning of the 1960s when the domination of the Soviet Union, and communist countries more broadly became more
evident. To this end, sports became a tool for exhibiting ideological supremacy and nationalism for all nations.

Yet, sport can also worsen the relationship between nations and trigger political events, such as the Soccer War between El
Salvador and Honduras in 1969. While there had been pre‐existing conflict between the two nations particularly on
migration from El Salvador to Honduras, this poor relationship was exacerbated by the three world cup qualifying matches
that these two nations had to play against each other in June 1969. On 27 June, as the players prepared for the qualifying
game in Mexico City, El Salvador severed all diplomatic ties with Honduras. A few weeks after the match, on 14 July 1969,
El Salvador ordered its forces to invade Honduras and launched warplanes to bomb the country. This marked the full‐blown
hostility between the two nations.
