A full FIFA World Cup 2026 sandbox spanning the USA, Canada and Mexico: browse the 48-team format, compute live group standings, simulate matches with goal events, chase the Golden Boot, buy limited tickets (409 when sold out) and submit champion predictions.
The World Cup 2026 API is the largest in the catalog — teams, groups, venues across the host cities, squads, match simulation, ticket sales and bracket predictions. Tickets are limited and matches must be played in group order, so it combines contended writes, business-rule validation and a slow simulation endpoint in one surface. It is the closest thing here to a full application backend.
