thePodcast: FIFA greed ends World Cup fan’s streak

For the week of  July 12, 2026:

As a fan of the beautiful game, Burnaby sports writer Alfie Lau has travelled to seven FIFA World Cups on four continents. His mementoes include framed photographs and ticket stubs from World Cup finals, including the 2022 classic in Qatar featuring Argentina and France. 

Just six SkyTrain stops from where he lives, B.C. Place Stadium hosted seven matches from June 13-July 7. On this edition of thePodcast, Lau explains why FIFA’s pursuit of attendance and revenue records caused him to sit this one out.
