A deep dive into the 2026 World Cup moment — and what it really means for African fans.
In this episode, we break down:
What the FIFA PASS actually is (and isn’t)
The emotion and pride surrounding AFCON, Zambia 2012, Ghana 2010, and Africa’s 10-team milestone
The reality of U.S. travel bans affecting fans from qualifying nations
And the quiet pause of the Diversity Visa Lottery following recent U.S. events
It’s about sport, yes — but also about access, memory, migration, and the bittersweet experience of cheering from afar.
🎧 Tune in for truth, heart, and perspective — from the stadium to the screen, and everywhere in between.
