Your Dog Doesn't Know the 2026 World Cup Is Happening-but This Chewy Toy Will Make Them Feel Like They're Part of It
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and even our furry friends are getting involved. While they can't actually participate in the game (although we feel they would be great at ball control), there are still plenty of ways that your pup can pretend to join the action. New to Chewy's lineup is a soccer-inspired toy that will have them practicing their dribbling skills.
Part of their series of soccer-inspired toys, this new chew toy matches the vibe of the official World Cup ball, making it a fun way for your dogs to join in. Large enough for all pets to enjoy, now your furry friend can enjoy the World Cup while you're watching it on TV.

"My dog absolutely loves this interactive soccer ball toy because retrieving balls is his favorite activity," wrote one reviewer on Chewy.com. "The integrated nylon tabs are a fantastic feature, making it incredibly easy for me to pick up, throw, or play a quick game of tug with him. It keeps him engaged for long play sessions in the yard. The squeaker adds an extra layer of excitement that he really enjoys."
Another reviewer shared, "My Mini Aussie and I absolutely love this ball! From the moment I inflated it with the included pump, he was completely hooked. At first, he just loved batting it across the floor and pouncing on it. But once he discovered the clever fabric tabs sewn onto the outside, it became a whole new game."
While our pups might not be on the pitch, this chew toy ball is the perfect way to get them in on all of the World Cup action.
