Now, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup enters its final stage this weekend, whispers are growing in Jamaica that some people may be using football fever as the perfect cover for stepping outside their relationships.

THE WEEKEND STAR hit the streets to investigate whether the world’s biggest football tournament is also creating a playground for secret rendezvous. A visit to several guest houses across the Corporate Area revealed increased activity, particularly during daytime hours when many football fans would normally be expected to be focused on matches, discussions and predictions.

At one guest house, a staff member said that business has picked up significantly since the tournament began. While she could not confirm that the increase was directly linked to football, she admitted that the timing was noticeable.
