JAKARTA – Football stadiums are the same as the cinema stage. For example, filming a film is compared to a football match. This ensures that all staff members are involved. The position of director, the main actor, the supporting roles, the doubles, the author of the scene, the public and the media which broadcast the activities throughout the world.
The blockbuster of 2026 is a film called FIFA World Cup 2026, which produced 104 episodes. The only difference is that there is no re-take in football matches. 90 minutes, for in-action “artists”, only one chance. The result: defeat, victory or draw and then we can fight, aka, the penalty shootout before moving on to the next round.

In the “ghost” performance, the author of the play is played by the coach. Often he is like an architect off-screen, he can only see the reality, that what happens on the field does not happen as he wrote.

So who plays the role of producer? The answer, in the film World Cup 2026, this position is of course occupied by FIFA. The highest caste institution of the most powerful organization in the world. This is why the “celebrities” who will be in Canada, Mexico and the United States, for 39 days, from June 11 to July 19, will be very glamorous.
As a producer, FIFA sometimes has a dictatorial behavior, which only unifies the best devices and personnel used in his film. There is only one thing on his mind, winning an Oscar and making the film a success in the market and becoming a box office hit. Furthermore, at present, football can be regulated and subject to the interests of television and sponsors.
This is why FIFA organized a casting call called the qualifying phase, on five continents. The result is that only the top 48 countries out of approximately 202 countries can participate in the film. The supporters who rush to the stadiums, called the public, are not only supposed to be spectators.
There were twenty-two (22) men who fought for the ball, and Argentina at the 2022 World Cup as champions. It seemed like everyone was emotionally involved in the performance.
Likewise, Canada, Mexico and the United States, designated as hosts, want to try. In particular, Mexico, which already hosted the 1970 and 1986 World Cups, and the United States at the 1994 World Cup, want to bring nostalgia and create a spectacular 21st century spectacle.
Football has become “the theater of life”. Millions of humans are involved. Different roles they play, joy, hysteria, or vice versa, anger, shame, complaint, swearing, and there is no conspiracy, ready to be printed by FIFA.
Phenomenal
For me, associating the 2022 World Cup is, with the 2026 World Cup. Like a great filmmaker. As if the man under the sky could not ensure the end of this colossal film?
The fact is that the film that will be shown on the “green screen” is being organized, and is waiting for the whistle of the “judge” and the name of the referee, with the help of the VAR. This means that before the whistle blows, in the last match at the stadium in Asteca, Mexico, on June 11, 2026, the conclusion, the winner of the football Oscar, is still awaited by billions of eyes, until July 19.
The journey of the Jules Rimet Trophy (1930 – 1970) which became the World Cup Trophy (1974 to the present day). Football is like a fairy tale, a tale, a folklore, or folklore, born thousands of years ago, before the emergence of human civilization.
In fact, on the field for thousands of years, until the birth of modern football. From this game of 22 players, there was finally a new accidental birth. As if a new “religion” or a “god” was native.
Since Brazil won the Jules Rimet world title in 1958, Pele was 17 years old. And, at the time, the president of the Brazilian PSSI, Joao Havellange (later president of FIFA), categorically refused the inclusion of Pele in the “Jogo Bonito” team. But, in Sweden, during the final, Pele’s name was the hero. And, this continued until Brazil won the Jules Rimet Cup (the embryonic World Cup Trophy) for the third time in 1970.

Since the emergence of the legendary team of the 1970s, Brazil, which today has 213 million people, has felt the blood of “football as a new religion”. Brazilians consider “football” not only as a sport, but as a religion.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup pre-tournament began when Carlo Ancelotti announced the 26-player squad on May 18, 2026. See, the people of Brazil, who have already declared themselves to be the sole owners of football DNA, are waiting for Ancelotti to name Neymar Jr, as player number 10, in the squad list for the 2026 World Cup.
The atmosphere is noisy, full at the Amanha Museum, Rio de Janeiro. According to the FIFA scriptwriters. Clearly, the announcement of the Seleccao list, marked by television and sponsors, is directly involved in the “packaging” of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as the biggest event of 2026, towards the “box office” podium.
This means that Brazilians have a historical record, football has become a “Religion”, Complete, built its super-luxurious structure, has a “God”, which they call Pele. This is why, just before departure for America, the plane carrying the Brazilian national team was baptized – blessed, Semim, on June 2, 2026, at Galeao airport, in Rio de Janeiro.
Regarding ideology. There is a “Lucifer” called “Ademir”, the fallen angel. The Brazilians also created the “Dajjal”, called Moacir Barbossa, the Brazilian national team goalkeeper who was broken by Uruguayan striker Alcides Ghiggia. To bury Brazil’s fate as world champion in 1950, in public, at the Maracana stadium.
New religions
There is a story, 12 years ago in Argentina, the BBC presenter duo Knowlegde made a film called “The Road to Rio”, that is Mark Watson and Henning Wehn, with as many episodes. The content of the story, the two of them loved the Argentinian legend, Dieago Maradona.
Mark and Henning are comedians, called “hosts”. The two, very surprised, saw that the building was not luxurious, at the door there was a large inscription, “Church Iglesia Maradoniana”. Inside, the atmosphere was the same as in Catholic churches, some were still praying, silent and meditative.
For the disciples of Diego Armando Maradona, the Iglesia Maradoniana (literally “Church of Maradona”) is a “religion”. According to the Wikipedia site, this “religion” was created by Maradona’s fans after his retirement as an Argentine football player.
The story is that Maradona is, convincingly and compellingly, a player for all time, until the end of time, who is called god – “God”. Now his followers reach 4 million followers.
“The Iglesia” was founded on October 30, 1998 (Maradona’s birthday) in the city of Rosario, Argentina. This can be seen as a type of “syncretism” or as a “religion”. Is that fair, depending on how each person wants to define “religion” when they use it?

“I have a rational religion, Catholicism, and I have a religion according to the heart, passion, and that is Diego Maradona,” said Alejandro Verón, one of the founders.
For them, the supporters of the “Maradonian Church”, are considered to be standing, counted since the birth of Maradona, October 30, 1960.
One of the funny things is that Mark and Henning attended a mass at the Iglesia Maradoniana church, which is similar to the Catholic church, where there are “10 commandments of God.” Meanwhile, “The Iglesia” church also has “10 Commandments of Maradona” guidelines.
From the land of Latin America, carnivals, music and balls have gone beyond “religion”. Different, from the point of view of the land of Europe. From this region, football, has become an event “to sell footballers”, part of a very powerful business tool.
Celebrities
You all know David Beckham. It is from this figure of the English national team that the world of football shone.
David Beckham has never been a great World Cup player. In fact, in the English national team since winning the World Cup title in 1966, until today, she has failed to qualify for the final. But, in Beckham’s time, he was “cooked” as a very phenomenal person.
As if it were fantastic, like a “fairy tale” country. His marriage, to Victoria “Posh” Adams, one of the singers of the Space Girls, became a unique “icon” to this day.
The two have also been named as a perfect couple, as if it were eternal. Appearance cool, rich, handsome and beautiful. Considered a spetakuler. Both also have successful careers.
Couples of footballers and singers, as well as designers, have become tales of the 3rd millennium. Until the 2026 World Cup, the Beckham-Victoria couple is considered the “character” of all time.
Of all the living legends, they are not as great or as great as Pele, Maradona, Messi and Beckham. That doesn’t mean, however, that players who grew up in the giant World Cup trophy event don’t have bombshell stories?
Look, those who put their shoes aside, like Carlos Alberto – Brazil 1970, Franz Beckenbauer – West Germany 1974, Mario Kempes – Argentina 1978, Paolo Rossi – Italy 1982, Rudi Voeller – West Germany 1990, Romario & Bebeto – Brazil 1994, Zinedine Zidane – France 1998, Ronaldo – Brazil 2002, Allesandro Del Piero – Italy 2006, Fernando Torres – Spain 2010, Miroslav Klose – Germany 2014, Mbappe – France 2018, and finally Lionel Messi – Argentina 2022. They have become a source of inspiration for poor children around the world.

They are heroes of their people, beyond wars between states like the one Iran had yesterday against Israel with the help of the United States.
They laid the foundation, a human child who was originally a poor child, had dreams, and was then able to prove them on the field, thanks to his skills, talent and intelligence.
The theater of life is precisely what they go through after putting on their shoes, and they have become “little gods” in their country, in their surroundings and in their community.
Since the 1930 World Cup, until 2022 which will be held in Qatar, for the 22nd time, there have been a lot of great masters. But there are also many great players who didn’t feel the World Cup title like Ferenc Puskas – Hungary 1954, Johan Cruijff – Netherlands 1974, Zico – Brazil 1982, Roger Milla – Cameroon 1990, Hristo Stoichkov – Bulgaria 1994, David Beckham – England 1998, Ahn Jung Hwan – Korea of the South 2002, Diego Forlan – Uruguay 2010, Neymar Jr – Brazil 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal 2018, and Luka Modric – Croatia 2022.
Now, on the occasion of the 2026 World Cup trophy in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Can young people have dreams like Pele, Maradona, Messi and David Beckham?
We will see, from June 11 to July 19, 2026, names like Lamine Yamal (Spain), Bukayo Saka (England), Michael Olise and Desire Doue (France), Jamal Musiala (Germany), Endrick (Brazil), Ibrahim Mbaye (Senegal), Giberto Mora (Mexico), Arda Guller and Kenal Yildiz (Turkey), Erling Haaland (Norway) or Nico Paz (Argentina) will follow the example of their seniors, becoming “gods” or marking a “New Order”?
