England’s Late-Night World Cup Games? Parents Have Found a Clever Solution
The audio cards let children learn about England stars and global football icons while skipping late-night World Cup kick-offs, Yoto said.
As England prepares for the World Cup 2026 quarter-finals against Norway, Yoto is offering football-themed audio cards to help children stay engaged with the tournament despite late-night kick-offs in North America.
Many parents face a scheduling challenge during the current World Cup, as several matches hosted in North America occur long after younger fans have gone to bed, causing them to miss live action.
Yoto has partnered with the Ultimate Football Heroes series to create audio cards, including the England Men collection featuring stars like Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer for screen-free engagement.
Beyond the Three Lions, the Global Icons Collection allows children to learn about international players such as Erling Haaland and Virgil, providing content that keeps kids entertained between matches.
For young fans, these cards combine storytelling with football facts, ensuring they stay connected to the beautiful game even when they cannot watch matches live.
