Why the FIFA World Cup Drives Fan Engagement
The FIFA World Cup is one of the biggest attention moments in global sport. The last tournament generated engagement from around five billion people across platforms, while the 2026 edition is set to be the largest World Cup ever, with more teams, more matches and more host cities than any previous edition.
That creates a rare window where fan attention is both massive and sustained. For weeks, audiences follow every group-stage match, every knockout round and every storyline around teams, players and predictions. For sports organizations, that makes the World Cup an ideal moment to launch interactive games that extend engagement beyond the live broadcast.

4 – Extend matchday engagement
