The 2026 FIFA World Cup is well underway across the US, Canada, and Mexico. Belgium’s Thibaut Courtois has conceded goals through the group stage. And crypto’s presence at the biggest sporting event on the planet? Essentially nonexistent.

The World Cup is here, crypto is not
Courtois, Real Madrid’s towering goalkeeper, has been Belgium’s starter through the group stage. Belgium opened with a 1-1 draw against Egypt on June 15, then ground out a 0-0 result against Iran on June 21.
The 34-year-old was named to Belgium’s World Cup squad back in May 2026. Courtois has conceded only 1 goal across his initial World Cup appearances.
