AI is playing a transformative role in the World Cup, with FIFA tracking 150 million data points per match. This data is used for everything from player scouting to tactical planning. Smaller nations like Curaçao have leveraged AI to qualify for the tournament, despite limited resources. FIFA has introduced a bespoke AI agent to level the playing field, but the effectiveness of this tool in closing the gap between wealthier and poorer nations is still uncertain.
