385. Should We Boycott the 2026 World Cup? (English Vocabulary Lesson)

27 April 2026
Four years ago, I made an episode titled “Should we boycott the Qatar World Cup?”
As you might remember, the tournament in Qatar was surrounded by criticism. There were concerns about human rights, especially the treatment of migrant workers who helped build the stadiums. There were some calls for fans, players, or countries to refuse to take part.
But despite all of that, the World Cup still went ahead. Millions of people watched, and Argentina beat France in the final.
Now, four years later, I want to ask the same question again… Should we boycott the 2026 World Cup?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across United States, Canada, and Mexico. It will be the biggest World Cup in history, as there are more teams, more matches, and more fans than ever before.
But once again, there have been some people asking for a boycott. This time the boycott is connected to politics, immigration, and questions about safety and freedom for fans travelling to the United States.
Should we boycott the 2026 World Cup? And maybe even more importantly… do boycotts actually work?
Let’s think about these questions while practicing our English listening comprehension and practicing our vocabulary!
