The Coupe du Monde 2026 is going big with 48 teams taking part, that’s as many cultures, traditions and cuisines to discover as the tournament unfolds. Beyond the matches, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to travel with your palate, from the sofa, around a table or in a restaurant before the coup d'envoi.
The idea is simple: watch a display while sampling dishes tied to the countries that are facing off. A match from Argentina? Think empanadas or a fine cut of grilled meat. Portugal in play? Time for pastéis de nata, cod fritters, and a run 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 generous, fragrant taste of the cuisine.
Several options are open to the adventurous gourmets: have it delivered to your home, swing by to pick up a few dishes before the match, or book a table to eat before or after the game. The more devoted can even craft a platter with two cuisines facing off, a delicious overtime on the field!
Whether you're looking to get into the mood, cheer on your team, or celebrate a win, the 2026 World Cup provides the perfect excuse to explore flavors from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and even the Middle East!
