As the 2026 FIFA World Cup enters its most exciting stage, besides the amazing goals, superstar performances and dramatic matches, there is always one thing football fans cannot avoid — controversy!

For nearly two decades, world football belonged to two extraordinary names: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Every time the FIFA World Cup comes around, one debate always dominates football conversations: Is the FIFA World Cup still the biggest tournament, or has the UEFA European Championship (UEFA Euro) become the tougher...

Editor’s Note: The 2026 FIFA World Cup is officially expanding from 32 to 48 teams. Any discussion of a 64-team World Cup is purely hypothetical, as FIFA has not announced any plans beyond 48 teams.

The FIFA World Cup has been held in the United States only once before, in 1994.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to be unlike any tournament we have seen before.
