The biggest World Cup in history is underway with 48 teams but the drama isn’t just on the pitch. From Iran’s national anthem being drowned out by boos and Mohammad Mohebi’s viral gun gesture to Cape Verde’s stunning debut draw against Spain, this tournament is already defined by controversy.
Iran captain Mehdi Taremi calls the World Cup a “disaster for us” amid U.S.-Iran tensions, while Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar “Vozinha” Dias plays a match of his life but his mother couldn’t attend due to U.S. visa costs. Uruguay team welcomed with sniffer dogs and hyper-alert security checks on arrival, and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau lands in hot water after skipping Canada’s debut to watch a U.S. match with Katy Perry.
Discover the wildest off-pitch moments from World Cup 2026 so far, political protests in Mexico, a mayor’s tragic assassination, first red cards and more. Which moment shocked you most?
