About The Soccer Series

The Soccer Series is an independent football blog about the World Cup — its history, the 2026 tournament, the stats, and beginner-friendly guides. Our flagship series, Your First World Cup, is built to take you from "I don't really follow soccer" to confidently enjoying the biggest tournament on earth. Everything is published in English and Spanish.

It's run by Oussama (oudinia), a fan who wanted a clear, jargon-free way into the game.

Editorial & AI note

We research and draft articles with the help of AI tools, and every piece is reviewed and edited by a human before it goes live. Some images on the site are AI-generated. Our live coverage (scores, standings, qualification odds) is sourced from public reporting and updated regularly — but for anything time-critical, always check official sources.
