Antigua Guatemala has been damaged by regular earthquakes over the centuries, and many ruined buildings were just left as they stood. It gives a unique backdrop to this football and basketball 'cancha', which skaters also use when they can.

Hapoel Tel Aviv ultras have routinely protested their government's genocide in Gaza. Their bitterest rivals are the self-proclaimed 'most racist club in the world', Beitar Jerusalem. They don't hide how they feel about them.

It's beautiful that as Tommy's morons were descending on Westminster, Englishmen called Eberechi Eze, Ethan Nwaneri and Chukwunonso Madueke (in for England's Bukayo Saka) were on the pitch doing big things for The Arsenal.
That's my club, my London, my England, and it's never going back.

Comuna 13 was once the most dangerous barrio in Medellín and this heavily overlooked space was used by gangs for public executions. Its change into a 'cancha' for basketball & football embodies the transformation of the community into a vibrant hub of art and music.

Right next to the ocean in Panama City's old town, overlooked by ships queuing to enter the canal, this 'cancha' was used into the night by locals. The court, the palm trees, the fierce passion they played with - it's pure Latin America.
