For 25 years, Passion for Sport has been reporting from major sporting events with the aim of introducing sports fans to Jesus.

Through news comment and discussion, interviews with top sportsmen and women sharing their faith, to reporting beyond the event on what followers of Jesus are doing to share their faith and serve their communities, Passion for Sport programmes are all about sports content with a Christian perspective.

Fifa World Cup™

Passion for Sport has covered the Fifa World Cup™ since 2006 in Germany. In 2026 the World Cup will be held in North America and once again Passion for Sport will be there – reporting on the action and bringing a Christian perspective on the events on and off the field. 

As an example, In 2014 Passion for Sport produced a daily, half-hour programme called Planet Sport – Destination Rio, which featured news reports, interviews, testimonies, discussion and analysis. We included testimonies form international players past and present such as Kaka (Brazil), Falcao (Colombia) and Eyong Enoh (Cameroon). Programmes also explored social projects in Rio helping young people affected by sexual exploitation, drugs and crime.

Summer Olympics

Passion for Sport has reported from the Summer Olympics since 1992 in Barcelona. The sports, the locations and the competitors are different each time, but the one constant is Passion for Sport’s desire to be efficient and effective in introducing sports fans to Jesus. This approach has led to the production of radio content in English, Spanish and other languages for the games and continues to guide our decision making process for the future.
