The most important football event on the planet will not just be a spectacle; it will be a laboratory. More than 100 students from the Sports Data Campus Master's programs will analyze every match of the 2026 World Cup using real data and professional standards, and publish it on a platform open to everyone.
The 2026 Data World Cup is not a new project. It is the culmination of four years of learning, corrected mistakes, refined methodologies, and a community that has grown tournament after tournament. This is the story of how we got here.
