How I found that anyone could register on FIFA's public Agent Platform, gain access to the Football Data Platform's Streaming Management panel, and get RTMP ingest URLs and stream keys for every live FIFA World Cup 2026 camera feed. I then spent hours calling FIFA, MediaKind, HBS, CISA, and the FBI trying to get someone to pick up the phone.
I was going to go ahead and say “if you could have and you didn’t, you failed us”, but then I actually read the article and basically FIFA either had the laziest, or the most inept IT dependent because it really is crazy that you can just sign up for a program with your ID and once they authenticate you you have access to everything even without any roles.
