Why the 2026 World Cup Return to the US Is a Moment for Unity
The FIFA World Cup returns to the United States in 2026 for the first time since 1994. This tournament means more than football. In a world facing wars, economic uncertainty and growing divisions, the World Cup brings people from diverse cultures together. As members of the diaspora, we understand what it means to honour both our roots and our new homes. Africa will send a record number of teams—from Nigeria and Ghana to Senegal, Morocco, Cameroon and Ivory Coast. For one month, the world will gather on US soil. Our differences can unite us and make us stronger. Which country will you be rooting for in 2026?
