Secrets of peoples and stories of the earth… Get ready to know the other side of the 2026 World Cup only with “Goal”.

From May 15, Goal, a sister site of the Football Co network, will open a completely different window into the 2026 World Cup, where coverage is not limited to monitoring results, but extends to reveal another side of this game that unites the peoples of the Earth under one sky.

We are on a journey of discovery that explores the human and historical aspects that give the tournament its true value, away from the usual hustle and bustle of stadiums.

Hidden worlds behind the green grass

The tournament contains hundreds of stories that have yet to be told, and we will take you on a daily journey that will trace the roots of each participating team and search for ancient legends that shaped their identity and historical memories that changed the course of an entire country.

Don’t just expect numbers, stats and expected designs, don’t underestimate the value of these elements. Expect stories that blend reality and fantasy and tell how a distant memory or popular legend can linger in the minds of players and fans until the game begins.

The heritage of the peoples and their miracles

Between each continent and the other, customs and traditions appear that are surprising and may seem illogical to some, but they are an integral part of the people’s heritage.

We will follow for you the small and exciting details that happen in the forgotten corners of the world, from the strange rituals that some use to seek luck, or the famous celebrations that coincide with the World Cup and give the game a unique flavor that you can only find in this great global forum.

Clashes of ideas and technologies

Behind the curtain, another world moves silently, where digital minds plan and hidden armies run things away from the photographers’ lenses.

We highlight the modern challenges facing national teams and how the environment and star-studded circles affect their performance on the pitch in ways that the average fan may not understand given the vast technological development surrounding the game.

Countdown to the starting whistle

Get ready for a series of condensed daily reports starting tomorrow to bridge you through all the details of the tournament until the big opening day on June 11.

The aim is to put the reader at the heart of the event in a calm and profound way that seeks the truth and pays attention to every detail that can make a difference in understanding this unique World Cup held on the North American continent.
