The FIFA Integrity Task Force has wrapped up its operations at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, confirming that none of the tournament's 104 matches showed any sign of suspicious betting activity or match manipulation.

Every fixture was monitored in real time throughout the competition, with Task Force members pooling betting-market intelligence and on-field data as each game unfolded. After a thorough review of all information gathered, no red flags were raised across any of the matches played.

How the task force operated

During the tournament, FIFA coordinated the collection of betting-monitoring reports and relevant data supplied by Task Force members, alongside information submitted through official reporting channels. All material was analysed and circulated among members following established operational procedures.

The Task Force drew on the combined expertise of a wide range of organisations — from continental football confederations to international law-enforcement bodies. Members included the AFC, CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL, UEFA, the OFC, the United States Soccer Federation, the Canadian Soccer Association, the Mexican Football Federation, the FBI, INTERPOL, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Council of Europe, the Group of Copenhagen, Sportradar, the International Betting Integrity Association, the United Lotteries for Integrity in Sports, IC360, Genius Sports, the United States Department of Justice, Sport Integrity Canada, the Competition Bureau Canada, the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica, and other independent experts.

That breadth of membership allowed for a coordinated and timely response to any alert or potential concern that arose during the competition.
