La Copa Mundial 2026 – Trabajos (World Cup 2026 – Jobs)
La Copa Mundial 2026: Trabajos, ambición y presión — Spanish careers, future plans and World Cup worksheet
A visually engaging Spanish worksheet/booklet based around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, designed to help students practise vocabulary, reading comprehension, inference, grammar and translation through the theme of jobs, careers, ambitions and future plans.
Students explore the “invisible jobs” behind a major international football tournament, including interpreters, journalists, volunteers, organisers, medical staff, photographers, tourist guides and communication teams. The resource is ideal for engaging football fans while also linking clearly to GCSE/IGCSE themes such as future aspirations, work experience, careers, languages, volunteering and the world of work.
The booklet includes:
World Cup 2026 careers vocabulary matching activity
Reading comprehension on the hidden workers behind the tournament
“Find the Spanish” vocabulary retrieval tasks
Reading tasks based on imagined comments from famous football figures
Multiple-choice and written comprehension questions
Inference questions to develop exam skills
A reading text about Carla’s dream of becoming a sports journalist
Grammar focus: prepositions before interrogative pronouns
Matching, gap-fill and translation grammar practice
Final “Traduce al español” translation task on careers and future plans
This resource is suitable for KS4 Spanish, especially GCSE/IGCSE classes, but could also be used with a strong Year 9 group or as revision/support for students working on the topics of jobs, future plans and ambitions.
The worksheet combines an exciting football/World Cup context with purposeful language practice, making it useful for cover lessons, independent work, revision, enrichment, or a themed lesson linked to the 2026 World Cup.

Reading comprehension, vocabulary retrieval, inference, grammar, translation, future tense, conditional, infinitive structures, prepositions with question words, opinions and justification.
