FIFA’s Integrity Task Force announced the successful completion of 2026 World Cup monitoring, confirming that no suspicious betting alerts or manipulation indicators were detected across all 104 matches played during the tournament.
Real-Time Monitoring with International Collaboration
The implemented system enabled real-time analysis of both betting activity and match developments on the field. This work was supported by the centralization of information from multiple sources and active participation from various actors in the sports and security ecosystem.
Collaborators included confederations such as AFC, CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL, UEFA, and OFC, as well as the federations of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Government agencies including the FBI and INTERPOL also participated, alongside specialized sports integrity companies such as Sportradar, IBIA, and Genius Sports.
A Model for Future Events
FIFA has expressed its intention to apply this collaborative model to upcoming tournaments, including the 2027 Women’s World Cup to be held in Brazil. This strategy reinforces the organization’s commitment to transparency and protecting football from threats linked to illegal betting.
For the Peruvian and South American market, where CONMEBOL plays a fundamental role, this approach represents significant progress in combating sports manipulation and strengthening confidence in the integrity of the game.
