After each World Cup, FIFA doesn't hold back. They come out with everything: technical reports, interactive graphics, tactical analyses, and even rankings of the best goals. What will the post-tournament report for the 2026 World Cup bring? In this article, we explain how this official analysis works, what interesting statistics are published, what technologies are used, and how these documents are useful for both coaches and fans. A review that blends football science with pure passion!

The Technical Report: A Snapshot of the World Cup


At the end of each World Cup, FIFA publishes a technical analysis that seems straight out of a spy movie: heat maps, average positioning, goals by type of play, pressure after losing possession, and countless other metrics that show us how the world's most important tournament was played.


What does the official report include?


  • Tactical summary of the top teams

  • Goal analysis: how many were penalties, headers, counter-attacks, etc.

  • Statistics by area of ​​the field and type of Possession

  • Use of Technology (VAR, GPS Tracking, AI)

  • Top 10 Most Elaborate Team Plays and Goals


This report is produced by the technicians and analysts of the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG), which includes former players, coaches, and data analysts. They analyze each of the 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup using state-of-the-art software, cross-reference data, and draw conclusions that are then published free of charge on the official website.


It is study material for national teams, clubs, and football fans who want to understand why a particular team went far or how tactics evolved in this edition.


Interesting Facts and Revealing Metrics


In addition to the technical report, FIFA is simultaneously releasing a document with the tournament's "spicy" statistics: from historical records to nerdy details that will drive football sleuths wild.


Surprising Statistics


  • Player who covered the most kilometers in the entire tournament

  • Team with the most recoveries in the opponent's half

  • Number of goals from throw-ins (yes, that's measured!)

  • Average time between recoveries and shot on goal

  • Country with the most cards without committing fouls (aggressive fair play)


For example, in 2022 we learned that Morocco was the team that won the most duels in defense, that the fastest goal was at 68 seconds, and that there were more goals from outside the box than in 2018. It was also discovered that pressure in the last 15 minutes generated 28% of the total goals of the tournament.


Did you know…?


In past reports, FIFA revealed curiosities such as the name of the only player who didn't misplace a single pass in 90 minutes (and it wasn't Messi!). Or that there was a team that never had a shot on goal in the entire tournament. Also, that AI was used to detect micro-errors in collective pressing. All that, and more, will also be in 2026.


And the best part: each statistic is explained with fantastic visualizations, such as maps, interactive charts, and comparisons by geographic area.
