The World Cup begins its tour
The World Cup trophy begins its world tour prior to the start of the World Cup in Qatar and will be in all the countries that have qualified for the finals of the tournament, so several fans will be able to be close to it.
Preparations for the 2026 World Cup have begun.
Mexico, the United States and Canada are preparing the road to the World Cup that they will share in 2026 and where Central America will be one of the most benefited zones for not having those rivals in the qualifying rounds.
The tournament returns to the American continent and to Concacaf since it was held in the United States in 1994.
A different kind of qualifiers for Central America
Central America and the Caribbean could have many more participants for the 2026 World Cup, since without the 3 hosts in the qualifiers, more nations will be able to opt for a ticket to the World Cup without having to watch the competition on television, understanding that they will be able to count on many fans as they will be in the same region.
Qatar is just around the corner
The World Cup in Qatar is less than two months away and the teams have their last official friendly matches, as they have all agreed to play one week before the tournament in Arab lands.
The 32 teams are preparing and will be looking for the eternal glory of world soccer.
Costa Rica on its way to the World Cup
The Tica nation managed to qualify to the Qatar World Cup through a playoff after defeating New Zealand 1-0 in a single match held in the World Cup grounds.
Costa Rica has once again qualified for the World Cup and it will be the last World Cup for the golden generation that made it to the quarterfinals in Brazil 2014.
Uzbekistan to close the year
The Uzbekistan national team failed again to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, however they are not wasting time and are looking to prepare in the best possible way and Costa Rica is a good rival.
The national team defeated Cameroon last Friday 2-0 in a show that they can be competitive and now they will try to give the surprise in the Asian Nations Cup.
End of the FIFA date before the World Cup
The last FIFA day before the World Cup in Qatar is over and Costa Rica has one last test to reach the best way to the World Cup where they will face Spain, Germany and Japan in Group E, a very complicated group for the Ticos.
