Lenovo and FIFA Launch Football AI Pro to Revolutionize World Cup 2026 Analysis

At Tech World @ CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Lenovo and FIFA unveiled Football AI Pro, a groundbreaking AI-powered knowledge assistant designed to deliver real-time data analytics and performance insights to coaches, players, and analysts at the FIFA World Cup 2026. The announcement was made on stage by Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino, highlighting the continued partnership between the two organizations.

Smarter AI on the Field

Built using Lenovo’s AI Factory, Football AI Pro is a specialized football interaction tool that leverages multiple AI agents to process millions of data points across 2,000+ metrics, delivering actionable insights instantly:

• Analysts can explore team patterns using video clips and 3D avatars, bringing tactical data to life in real time.
• Coaches can simulate how potential tactical changes might perform against upcoming opponents.
• Players receive personalized match analysis to improve performance.

Football AI Pro combines Lenovo’s “Smarter AI for All” philosophy with FIFA’s “Football Unites the World” vision, aiming to democratize elite-level analytics and ensure every team, regardless of size or resources, can access critical performance intelligence.

A Tactical Sandbox Powered by AI

The platform operates like an enterprise knowledge assistant but tailored for football. By integrating historic match data, tactical analysis, and real-time inputs, Football AI Pro generates context-rich insights with visuals, video, and 3D avatars in seconds. It also offers a tactical sandbox, allowing teams to explore data-validated strategies and make informed decisions on the fly.

Designed for Hybrid AI environments, the solution provides:

• Faster, reliable insights
• Increased security and privacy
• Scalable, cost-efficient access to high-level analytics

This ensures even debuting or smaller nations competing at the World Cup, including Curaçao and Cabo Verde, have access to tools traditionally reserved for elite football teams.

Leveling the Playing Field

FIFA’s commitment to global football development aligns with Football AI Pro’s mission. By providing financial, expert, and technical support, FIFA aims to nurture talent and improve youth development programs worldwide. Football AI Pro extends that vision to the 2026 tournament, giving all participating teams a competitive edge through accessible, data-driven insights.
