The first match of the 2026 World Cup kicks off in about 3 weeks. I grew up playing soccer. I wasn’t great, but I loved the sport. Both of my kids play competitively, and they love it, too. My wife and I spend a significant amount of time taking our kids to soccer practices and games. Over Memorial Day weekend, we watched our kids play in 7 matches in 4 cities!
The 2026 World Cup is being hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Several World Cup matches are being held in Foxboro, Massachusetts, which is a little over 30 minutes from us. When the US hosted the World Cup in 1994, my parents took us to a match. My wife and I want to give the same opportunity to our kids.
I signed up for a bunch of ticket lotteries run by FIFA, but I was not selected. Instead, I used the FIFA resale market and bought tickets to a match in mid-June. I am sure I am going to watch many World Cup matches on television this Summer.
With so many different venues hosting matches, I am curious if you’re going to attend a match in person. If not, who are you rooting for?
