Crypto is All Over the 2026 World Cup, Just Not as an Official FIFA Sponsor
Crypto companies are increasingly involved in the FIFA World Cup 2026, though none are official FIFA sponsors.

Notably, Argentina's national team has secured multiple crypto sponsorships leading up to the tournament.

- ▪The Argentine Football Association has formed several crypto-related partnerships ahead of the tournament.
- ▪ADI Predictstreet has been named the Official Prediction Market Partner for the World Cup.
