Insights

Digital Transformation Strategist

Expanded FIFA–Globant deal strengthens Globant's revenue visibility and product showcase ahead of major 2026–2027 tournaments.

Globant will deliver a broad portfolio of IT solutions and a new mobile application across FIFA's ecosystem, and will act as a Tournament Supporter for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the FIFA Women\'s World Cup 2027, plus support the FIFAe Finals 2025 and the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2027. This creates near-term commercial workstreams tied to high-profile, calendar-driven events and offers clear opportunities to monetize services, showcase scale, and win follow-on digital contracts within FIFA\'s tournament cycle.

Key dependencies and risks include delivery quality, timeline adherence to tournament schedules, and user adoption of the mobile application; failure on these points would reduce the commercial and reputational upside. Watch platform launch milestones, procurement or payment terms disclosed by either party, and live-event performance during the 2025 and 2026 competitions within a 6–18 month horizon.
