VANCOUVER / ZURICH – In a move that signals a digital revolution for the beautiful game, FIFA has announced a landmark multi-year partnership with ADI Predictstreet, designating the firm as the first-ever Official Partner for the prediction market category. This collaboration aims to transform how billions of supporters interact with the sport, making its global debut just in time for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
As the tournament expands to a historic 48 teams across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the demand for deeper digital immersion has never been higher. ADI Predictstreet’s innovative platform will serve as the centerpiece for this new era of fan engagement, allowing supporters to move beyond passive viewership and into the realm of interactive forecasting.
A New Frontier in Fan Engagement
Through this partnership, fans will gain access to a dynamic platform powered by FIFA’s official historical data. Supporters can forecast everything from match outcomes and tournament statistics to individual player performances and “magic moments” on the pitch.
In addition to its standalone platform, ADI Predictstreet will become the presenting partner for FIFA’s iconic free-to-play bracket challenge. This integration allows fans to compete against friends and global communities, using data-driven insights to predict the path to the trophy.
“FIFA is committed to continually enhancing the fan experience and embracing innovation,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “By partnering with FIFA, ADI Predictstreet will be introducing an exciting new way for fans around the world to engage with football, using insight and interaction to deepen their connection.”
Integrity and Innovation at the Core
While the platform offers a high-energy experience, FIFA and ADI Predictstreet have placed a premium on transparency and protection. The system operates under a rigorous integrity monitoring framework, which includes:
- Real-time monitoring of suspicious trading activity.
- Structured information sharing and reporting systems.
- Alignment with FIFA’s strict regulatory and integrity frameworks.
Built on ADI’s sovereign institutional-grade blockchain, the platform ensures that every forecast and transaction is secure and verifiable, providing a “fair play” environment that mirrors the ethics of the game itself.
Beyond the Pitch
While the immediate focus is on the 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup, the implications of this technology are far-reaching. Ajay Hans Raj Bhatia, Principal Council Member of ADI Predictstreet, noted that this partnership lays the foundation for a new category where “collective intelligence, technology, and real-world outcomes converge.” While football is the starting point, the blockchain-based system is designed for future applications in finance, technology, and other global events.

Regulatory Milestone: Gibraltar’s First Prediction Market License
In a historic move for the industry, Predict Street Ltd was officially granted Gibraltar’s first-ever prediction market license on March 26, 2026. Approved under the 2005 Gambling Act in record time, the license reflects Gibraltar’s strategic shift toward pioneering digital financial and gaming services. While several European nations remain cautious of the sector, Gibraltar—under the direction of Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry Nigel Feetham—has positioned itself as a primary hub for this innovation. This regulatory approval provides the legal foundation for the platform’s highly anticipated public launch on April 9, 2026, ensuring the crypto-based, blockchain-supported platform meets stringent transparency standards ahead of its global debut at the FIFA World Cup.
