Avec 48 équipes en lice, la Coupe du Monde 2026 s’annonce comme un grand voyage mêlant football et gastronomie. L’occasion de suivre les matches tout en goûtant les spécialités des pays sur le terrain !

The 2026 World Cup is pulling out all the stops with 48 teams in the running, offering just as many cultures, traditions, and cuisines to discover as the tournament unfolds. Beyond the matches, it’s also a superb chance to travel by taste, whether from the sofa, around a table, or in a restaurant before the kickoff.

The idea is simple: watch a affiche while sampling country-specific specialties tied to the teams. A match against Argentina? Think empanadas or a generous cut of grilled meat. Portugal in the mix? Time for pastéis de nata, cod fritters, and a plate of bacalhau. For England, fish and chips and pies keep the pub vibe alive. On the Ghana side, wolof rice or suya skewers offer a rich, aromatic taste of the cuisine.

Several options are on offer for the adventurous gastronome: have meals delivered to your home, swing by to pick up a few dishes before kick-off, or reserve a table to dine before or after the game. The most motivated can even assemble a tasting board pairing two cuisines on opposite sides, a delicious overtime on the field!

Whether you're looking to soak up the atmosphere, back your team, or celebrate a victory, the World Cup 2026 provides the perfect excuse to explore flavors from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas—and even the Middle East!
