description The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are two international sports organizations with an instrumental functioning within large international corporations. They also have influence in national states through the generation of ecological discourses and investment funds in public works, which leads them to be a key player in the production of capital spaces. Sports companies have become a fundamental actor in understanding the mechanisms of social and cultural alienation for many members of the working class, but this would not be understandable without international sports organizations that function as intermediaries between companies and the consumer population. Political geography, in its critical aspect, is crucial for the analysis of this process of production of the space that generates this process of intermediation between sports companies, institutional organizations and consumers of professional sports.For this, an inductive methodology was carried out, since the work arises from an investigation into the role of international organizations in the countries organizing mega sporting events.

La Federación Internacional de Futbol Asociación (FIFA) y el Comité Olímpico internacional (COI) son dos organismos deportivos internacionales con un funcionamiento instrumental dentro de las grandes corporaciones internacionales. También poseen injerencia en los Estados nacionales mediante la generación de discursos ecológicos y fondos de inversión en obra pública, lo que los lleva a ser una pieza clave en la producción de espacios de capital. Las empresas deportivas se han convertido en un actor fundamental para entender los mecanismos de enajenación social y cultural para muchos miembros de la clase trabajadora, pero esto no sería entendible sin las organizaciones internacionales del deporte que funcionan como intermediarios entre las empresas y el pueblo consumidor. La geografía política, en su vertiente crítica, resulta crucial para el análisis en este proceso de producción del espacio que genera este proceso de intermediación entre las empresas deportivas, los organismos institucionales y los consumidores del deporte profesional. Para ello, se realizó una metodología inductiva, ya que el trabajo se desprende de una investigación sobre el papel de los organismos internacionales en los países organizadores de megaeventos deportivos.
