The FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to be one of the most exciting global events of the decade — and it’s happening in Los Angeles, one of the world’s most diverse and vibrant cities. For international students, this is the perfect moment to combine studying English in the United States with an unforgettable cultural experience.
At Language Systems International (LSI), we welcome students from all over the world who want to learn English in Los Angeles, improve communication skills, and experience American culture in a truly international environment.
A Brief History of the FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup began in 1930, in Uruguay, with the goal of bringing countries together through football. Since then, it has grown into the largest and most-watched sporting event worldwide, connecting nations, cultures, and languages.
From the beginning, the World Cup has always been about more than sports — it is about global connection, diversity, and communication, values that strongly align with the mission of an English language school for international students.
World Cup 2026: Three Countries, One Global Event
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be historic. For the first time ever, the tournament will be hosted by three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This unique format reflects the multicultural and international spirit of the event.
With matches spread across North America, millions of visitors from different countries will travel to experience the World Cup — many of them choosing to study English abroad while they are in the U.S.
Why English Is the Global Language of the World Cup
During international competitions like the World Cup, English is the most widely used language. Players, coaches, referees, officials, journalists, and fans rely on English to communicate clearly.
The same happens at Language Systems International. Our students come from dozens of countries, and English becomes the common language that connects everyone — inside and outside the classroom.
Studying English in Los Angeles allows students to practice the language daily in real-life situations, building confidence and fluency naturally.

Los Angeles will host several matches during the 2026 World Cup, including games at the famous SoFi Stadium, one of the most modern and iconic stadiums in the United States.
Our Downtown Los Angeles campus is located just 15 minutes by car from SoFi Stadium, making Language Systems International an ideal choice for students who want to be close to the World Cup action while studying English.
