The letter that connected disabled family with Cristiano Ronaldo: 'I couldn't let them down' ✉️❤️ Alina Hoberg, FIFA's Human Rights and Sustainability Coordinator, was carrying out her usual ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) checks during a Colombia v Portugal match in Miami, Florida at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, when she moved through the accessible seating sections to ask fans whether they needed mobility assistance. It was there that she met a family of four, including two young brothers, Michael and Vladimir, who live with muscular dystrophy, and whose day at the stadium was about to take an unexpected turn. “They approached me and they told me that they had the best time of their lives because this was the first match that they saw [Cristiano] Ronaldo play in live,” Ms Hoberg recalled. “And so even in the conversation with them, I thought they were special. The boys were smiling. They were happy that they were there. They honestly had the best time of their lives, and they told me. And so when they gave me the letter, I knew I had to do something about it, and I couldn't let them down.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gVHq7CKa

FIFA Integrity Task Force identifies no suspicious betting activity during FIFA World Cup 2026 The FIFA Integrity Task Force, established to safeguard all FIFA competitions against match manipulation‑related threats, has successfully concluded its FIFA World Cup 2026™ operations after monitoring betting markets and on-field activity in real time across all 104 matches. Based on the information collected and analysed throughout the competition, the Task Force identified no suspicious betting activity or indications of match manipulation in connection with any fixture. During the tournament, FIFA centralised the collection of betting‑monitoring reports and other relevant data and information provided by Task Force members, as well as information received through available reporting mechanisms. This information was subsequently analysed and shared among Task Force members in line with operational procedures. “The FIFA Integrity Task Force provided a strong framework during the FIFA World Cup 2026 for sharing intelligence, assessing potential concerns and coordinating a timely response,” said Liam Rich, FIFA’s Senior Integrity Manager. We thank all Task Force members for their expertise and commitment during the competition and we look forward to building on this collaboration at future FIFA tournaments.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/dKmWGWJc
