SaYo to Kanakoron no Cha~ shi nagara katarou #20: FIFA World Cup 2026!

They discuss the struggles of attending matches locally and watching games across time zones.

This tournament was jointly hosted by three countries: Canada, the USA, and Mexico. Due to the time differences, many games took place late at night or early in the morning, and it is revealed how friends in Japan and locally supported the teams while suffering from a lack of sleep.

The energy in the streets and houses proudly displaying national flags left a strong impression. Kanakoron, a soccer fan, apparently felt the popularity of soccer and the excitement in the streets of the US firsthand. SaYo shows great interest in the lively stories, such as the loud cheers rising from the neighborhood when a goal was scored in Japan's match, and various households decorating their homes with national flags.

Despite soaring ticket prices, the overwhelming enthusiasm that packed the stadiums is astonishing.

Before the tournament began, it was a hot topic that tickets were "too expensive," and empty seats were a concern. However, when the event actually opened, every venue was a massive success. Stories continue into deeper topics, such as Kanakoron's strong desire to catch even a glimpse of a certain star player, but please be sure to listen to the main episode for the rest!
