The FIFA World Cup starts soon. For the first time, each team will have an AI coach.
When Mexico kicks off against South Africa at Estadio Azteca on June 11, the 2026 World Cup will be the biggest in the tournament’s history: 48 teams, 104 matches, three countries. It will also be the first World Cup where every single team walks in with the same AI ******* yst sitting on the bench.
Or maybe not exactly sitting. And not quite on the bench, either. Think of FIFA AI Pro more as a coach in the cloud, perhaps. With, of course, a perfect photographic memory of thousands of soccer games.
Essentially, it’s ChatGPT for football (or soccer, depending on where you live). Co-developed by FIFA and tournament sponsor Lenovo and unveiled in January at CES, FIFA AI Pro is an AI ******* istant that lets all 48 World Cup teams query FIFA’s exclusive match data — millions of data points across 2,000+ metrics — and get tactical insights back as video, animated replays, and 3D avatars.
Teams can ask FIFA AI Pro almost any kind of match-related question:
