The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar will go down in history for its many “firsts”. The first time an Arab country hosts the World Cup, the first time the tournament is held in the winter/the middle of the European football season, and the first time stadiums were built in close proximity. However, the most important first is the level of technology that has been integrated and automated into the entire entity of the World Cup, setting the bar high for future World Cups to follow.

Since its creation, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized technology to improve efficiency and productivity in various industries. Some industries have been changed entirely because of AI—design, transportation, healthcare, finance, and sports. However, sports technology is often less talked about in the tech world since it is a relatively new concept that has begun to be capitalized on within the recent decade. Nevertheless, AI has changed how coaches, general managers, players, and fans think, talk, and play sports and is set to become the norm in sports organizations and leagues across the world.
