As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to kick off across the North American continent, hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Thando Sibiya, Sports Presenter and Journalist. While the tournament was initially met with great fanfare: an expanded 48-country tournament hosted by three countries, Sibiya warns that the “deplorable issues” and multiple controversies risk “killing the ambiance” and keeping football fans and country supporters away. From exorbitant ticket prices to Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration policies, many fans will now be forced to follow their team from their home country. This could very well be ‘one of the least anticipated World Cups of this era’, laments Sibiya.
