There were 80,000 phones in this stadium during a single match, and almost none of that data was the broadcast. I went behind the scenes at the FIFA World Cup 2026™ with Verizon Business to see what it actually takes to run a tournament like this. There's a whole network fans never see, running just a few feet from the one everyone's using. And somehow, a producer thousands of miles away can run the broadcast like they're standing on the pitch. This video was made in partnership with Verizon Business. In this video: Why this network was built for more upload than download → The private, isolated system running AI officiating right next to public wifi → How a single broadcast center thousands of miles away can produce a match in real time → What it actually took to run this across 16 stadiums, in 3 countries, for over a month straight → Why all of this matters! Let me know what stood out to you most in the comments. Learn more about the tech powering FIFA World Cup 2026™ here:h
