This week the 2026 World Cup kicked off with Mexico playing South Africa in what many have called one of the most politically charged sporting tournaments in history.
The competition - that will keep football fans glued to their screens until 19 July - is being held across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
But while some people in Brussels are focused on World Cup bets, others are more focused on the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, which becomes fully applicable today (12 June).
Euronews’ weekly podcast Brussels, My Love? tries to bring together these two topics by talking to Virginie Jacob, senior advisor on migration at the European Policy Centre, Petros Fassoulas, secretary general of the European Movement International and Euronews journalist Adnan Leal.
