FIFA World Cup

Lenovo and FIFA say all 48 national teams that competed at the 2026 World Cup used FIFA AI Pro, an AI analytics platform built on Lenovo's AI Factory and xIQ platform, to prepare for the tournament. The claim is notable less for the technology than for its reach, universal adoption across football's wealthiest federations and its most under-resourced ones alike, though the release stops short of saying whether that access translated into any competitive edge on the pitch.
