The marketing event of the decade is just around the corner: the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With 48 teams, three host nations, and billions of fans tuning in, this isn’t just another tournament - it’s a moment the whole world shows up for. For marketers, it’s an unmissable chance to tap into real emotion, real momentum, and real buying power.

Many brands are already champing at the bit – rushing in with big plays and lots of spend. But with so many jumping at the chance, how can you guarantee ROI and reduce wasted spend?
