FIFA tracks 7 million offensive World Cup comments
A report issued by FIFA, the International Federation of Football Associations, revealed that approximately 7 million offensive or harmful posts were detected on social media throughout the 2026 World Cup. This represents a 14-fold increase compared to the 2022 World Cup, during which about 470,000 offensive posts were removed. FIFA employed artificial intelligence technologies to review over 500,000 messages, primarily targeting players, coaches, and officials. More than a thousand threats were reported to the relevant authorities. Among the monitored content, racist abuse accounted for about 11% of the total offensive messages, just before the tournament concluded with a final match between Argentina and Spain.
