World Cup 2026: the technology that will transform how you watch football

Data, AI and 3D avatars will change the fan experience at the trinational tournament.

Almost 50 teams, three countries and more than one hundred matches. The 2026 World Cup will not only be the largest in history, but it will also transform the way we watch football from home. Artificial intelligence and advanced statistics will be the protagonists.

Tools like Football AI Pro, created with Lenovo, will help coaches prepare for matches and detect weak points. For the viewer, the data will be converted into graphs and summaries that explain what is happening on the court.

How the experience changes

In Qatar 2022, 12 cameras were already used to track the ball and 29 body points of each player 50 times per second. By 2026, that level of detail will be the norm. Stats will no longer be cold numbers: defensive lines, heat maps and movement patterns will be displayed.

In addition, the organization announced 3D avatars to recreate plays and referee decisions. Thus, tactical concepts such as high pressure or compact block will be visual and easy to understand.

The 2026 World Cup will maintain the excitement of goals and surprises, but with tools that allow us to better understand the game. Technology does not take away passion, but rather adds context.
