For the first time, three countries are co-hosting the Fifa World Cup 2026—the United States, Canada, and Mexico—and some of the games will be played right here at nearby Gillette Stadium in Foxborough starting on June 11. A total of 48 countries will be represented—from “A” (Algeria and Argentina, to name two) all the way to “U” (Uruguay and Uzbekistan). 

Will your country be playing? Do you have your team’s shirt, or favorite player’s shirt, ready? (It’s still unclear if Argentina’s great Lionel Messi will play in his record 6th World Cup.) We’re putting together a special photo essay showing Boston University’s World Cup fans ahead of this summer’s event. Fill out this form by March 15 and let us know who you’ll be rooting for and why and we might photograph you for our World Cup story.
