According to an executive, attention has ceased to focus on isolated moments to become a continuous process. This peak of attention is driven by specific events such as the publication of squad lists, the presentation of official kits, adjustments to the calendar, and friendly matches.

This redefines the way companies must approach the context to establish consistent connections with their consumers.
Content Territories and Key Consumption Moments The research reveals that the conversation surrounding the 2026 World Cup permeates various consumption categories, such as: • Food & Drink: Related to the planning of social gatherings. • Travel: Focused on the logistics and attendance at the event. • Technology: Linked to the search for devices to follow the competition.
Digital traffic grows organically months before the inauguration, maintaining high levels even on days with no scheduled matches.
