Will the 2026 World Cup make soccer permanent in the U.S.?

For three-time World Cup player for the U.S., Tab Ramos, this year has to be the year that makes the sport boom in the country.

In this episode, Ramos tells us how he immigrated from Uruguay as a child. “I remember telling my father at the time: dad, out of all the countries in the world that we could move to, why do we have to move to the one that doesn't have soccer?” he said. But Ramos would grow to become one of the best U.S. soccer players of the 1990s. We hear about his devastating losses, hard-fought wins, and a cracked skull that nearly ended his career and his life.

At Futuro Media, we understand that Latinos and Latinas are the future of democracy in this country.

That's why this month we launched "The Latino Factor: How You Vote," to cover politics and the policies that affect our communities in the lead up to the 2026 midterms.

Part of our reporting about democracy is our interview with Estefany Rodríguez, a Colombian American journalist who was targeted by ICE and held in detention for 2 weeks. That's the kind of episodes you'll hear on Latino USA.
