Copa do Mundo 2026 será o maior experimento de I.A do esporte até hoje?

A Copa do Mundo da FIFA 2026 ainda nem começou, mas já se transformou em um dos maiores laboratórios de inteligência artificial do esporte mundial.

Em parceria com a Lenovo, a FIFA apresentou tecnologias de IA para modernizar a arbitragem, a análise tática e a experiência dos torcedores nos jogos.

[{"selector":"#anim-ca9f1e4a-457d-418e-b0dd-13695cde3c1b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab306b8b-b764-40aa-aeed-24e10b894fa2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.07517%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78fa52a1-f9cd-40f5-8415-f79adfd0644d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b66615c-819d-4bef-a8ae-da06f23b7560","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 636.72879%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: instagram

O movimento reforça uma tendência no futebol: além do talento em campo, dados, automação e inteligência artificial ganham espaço na competição.

[{"selector":"#anim-6edfed70-cfe4-47ba-acfa-5ef30189cce7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6e054e81-1ca3-4684-a96a-5cbfb6059b15","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.54578%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87e68784-3119-4eb9-b244-9db2d3a18886","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a4adc5a-bb00-44ab-a54d-99b30b392c75","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 642.28427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: Unsplash

O principal destaque foi o Football AI Pro, assistente de inteligência artificial generativa criado para apoiar todas as seleções participantes da Copa do Mundo.

[{"selector":"#anim-6f311873-27dc-4f9c-8a92-5ce3f51d28dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-51269cfe-180b-4cbc-a557-7cfd239aa58b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 183.98694%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b40cc670-bfd8-4626-bb1d-bd459ede4a61","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c27d1ab5-3d20-4985-9941-987cc3f762d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 795.06218%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: Unsplash Leia mais

A ferramenta analisa centenas de milhões de dados de futebol organizados pela FIFA e, assim, entrega relatórios em texto, vídeo, gráficos e visualizações em 3D.

[{"selector":"#anim-15259283-a401-4ec2-a58d-80f083abf974","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37a172a8-d327-4f52-8307-253c55a9e695","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.07517%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b79edc9a-a992-4b85-a923-384d6d6fde44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2be2c0c4-0ef5-452a-a39c-b70bf4e58c21","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 636.72879%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: Unsplash

Outra novidade é a criação de avatares 3D dos jogadores. Antes da competição, os atletas passarão por um escaneamento corporal rápido e altamente preciso.

[{"selector":"#anim-5a66b8de-5cdb-4519-ac1b-55f5bdca710d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab770cda-b516-4435-a271-f102322c1db4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.07517%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88d7cf6e-108e-41d5-823d-3c4478451473","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26f23c0e-e287-4585-a670-850aa6eb7cde","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 636.72879%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: Unsplash

Esses modelos virtuais alimentarão o sistema semiautomático de impedimento utilizado pelo VAR.

A entidade também apresentou o Referee View, que exibe imagens da câmera do árbitro e usa IA para estabilizá-las, aproximando o público da visão em campo.

[{"selector":"#anim-cab265b4-8c45-4355-aa8e-3b0f64c5c08c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78b50b67-fd5c-47d8-98d3-76e03fcc659a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.54578%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f374d9d0-c02b-44e3-9556-33c2a670d95d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f9366ba-1b88-4792-9d2c-89a1233f4089","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 642.28427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":2,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] foto: Unsplash

Mais do que ferramentas isoladas, a FIFA busca um ecossistema com IA que integra arbitragem, análise, conteúdo e dados em tempo real na Copa de 2026.
