Sports, Identity and Power: A Lecture with Political Explosiveness in Regensburg
The lecture series Sports, Politics, Conflict provides a contemporary view on the connection between sports, nationalism, and political staging at the University of Regensburg on June 10, 2026. Győző Molnár from Worcester discusses how Hungarian politics uses athletes, football, and invented traditions for power and identity.
A Topic Between Stadium, State, and Symbolism
The lecture focuses on a highly political tension field where sports becomes not just a game but a stage for societal interpretations. This is the unique strength of this event: it combines scientific analysis with a debate that reaches far beyond the lecture hall.
Science at the Center of the Campus
The venue is the Central Lecture Hall Building of the University of Regensburg at Universitätsstraße 31. The campus offers an established infrastructure for lectures, series of events, and academic formats; the university also provides barrier-free orientation aids such as room information and URwalking.

Győző Molnár is a Professor of Sociology of Sport and Exercise at the University of Worcester and has researched sports sociology, identity politics, migration, and populist politics in Hungary for many years. His publications and teaching demonstrate clear expertise in the thematic field that shapes the lecture.
