Gazans who have been displaced by the war are following the World Cup from damaged neighborhoods and makeshift locations, according to multiple reports. With many families having lost their homes, access to dependable infrastructure is limited. Several outlets describe widespread disruption to internet connectivity, which hampers the ability to stream matches or stay informed about schedules and results. The reports also note that daily life in Gaza continues to be shaped by security risks, including ongoing military activity and drone overflights, which add to stress and restrict the ability to watch games in a calm environment.

While the World Cup provides a focal point for attention and routine during the tournament period, the accounts emphasize that displacement, lack of services and the backdrop of fighting remain central to how and whether people can watch.
