Have you ever wanted to connect with a friend you’ve known for a while but felt unsure how to bring up their spiritual background? Or perhaps you’d like to get to know a neighbor or someone you see regularly, but you’re unsure how to invite them into your home. This summer is the perfect time to take that next step. 

More than 5 billion people worldwide will watch the 2026 World Cup from June 11 to July 19.  That’s why Cru created Victory Beyond the Cup,

a strategy to equip believers to open their homes, activate their churches, and

bring their communities together through simple relational outreach during this

global cultural moment.

Victory Beyond the Cup’s goal is to mobilize 100,000 believers and 10,000 churches by providing free resources that spark meaningful conversations that point people to lasting hope. Together with God, we believe the Church can turn this global moment into Kingdom momentum.

Victory Beyond the Cup offers a free host kit with simple tools that make hosting watch parties easy, natural, and relational. The kit includes a host planning guide, conversation cards, a printable bracket, World Cup bingo, and more. No soccer knowledge is required to host a party!

For those who want to host church watch parties, Victory Beyond the Cup offers a free outreach kit filled with ready-made resources that make ministry easy and effective for church leaders and their teams. The kit includes a small-group discussion guide, sermon resources, and more. Please pray for those hosting these gatherings, those attending, and those playing in the tournament.
