More World Cup Adventures

Image
I've had such a time with FWC26. From visiting orher cities, to attending a match, to FanFest I've been doing everything I can to soak up all the good energy and vibes. In the spirit (and because I have watched just about every match so far), here's my teams I'm following list. No particular order: Japan England (Is it going home?) USA Brasil Cabo Verde (dark horse 🐎) Argentina (back to back?) Morocco (so far the lesser problematic African team) Also here's a few photos of my adventures thus far Until next post, laters

FIFA Club World Cup

Image
It's been a busy soccer summer. This year the US is hosting the FIFA Club World Cup with 5 games taking place in the A. I applied for and got accepted to volunteer, which has been pretty cool. In addition to the sponsored Addias gear, we got volunteer swag for the number of shifts we participated in, free parking,  discounts to matches, and the chance to meet folx from all over the city, state, country and world. I've been thinking of it as a trial run for the World Cup next year. We haven't hosted since I believe '93, so it should be a whole new ball game. In any case, I had a lovely time, got to watch a few games and as an accreditation volunteer got to make sure folx were ready for the action. I've really grown to love football (soccer, fútbol) and have really enjoyed bringing that love to more people in this way. Until next post, latera
