Could World Cup football be played on other planets?
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has joked that one day football could be played on other planets. Here’s my unofficial guide to interplanetary football
In his address to the Fifa Congress the day before the Brazil World Cup kicks off, Fifa president Sepp Blatter said: “We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions. Why not?”
Why not? Let me tell you.
Forget the moon. There’s simply too little gravity. With one sixth the pull of Earth, the pitch would have to be enormous. Kicks would send the ball flying much much further than on our planet.
