Description

The 2026 World Cup will be the biggest ever for so many reasons, so we are launching the Copa Independent podcast to give you the full picture on every angle of it: not just the football, but the politics, the history, the debates and of course the nostalgia. Going out every week, it won't just get you feeling the World Cup but thinking about it.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
