Over 2,000 hours of archive footage from previous men’s and women’s World Cups will be included in the form of both full matches and highlights. New original content will also be added, such as news coverage, talk shows and documentaries, the first of which focuses on Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. By next June, FIFA+ is scheduled to be broadcast in 11 languages.
