Summer 2026. North America. 48 teams. 104 matches. Millions of spectators on the stadiums and billions watching on screens. The World Cup is not just a tournament.

He sees on TV how Kylian Mbappé dribbles past three players and thinks, "I can do that too." He sticks player stickers in his album, asks his parents to buy boots like Vinicius, and draws goals on the asphalt. His dream is simple and naive: to get to the s ... Read more
