The business behind the game: Football World Cup 2026

What lies behind the Football World Cup 2026?

The 2026 World Cup is much more than just a major sporting event. Behind the matches lie emotions, global brand strategies, investments worth billions, and the challenge of organizing an event across three countries. How will players and sponsors position themselves in 2026? How do emotions during the World Cup influence our consumer behavior? And how do you manage an event of this magnitude? Drawing on the expertise of our ISM professors, we take a look behind the scenes of the world’s biggest football event and analyze the World Cup from a management perspective.
