The FIFA Innovation Programme provides a platform for FIFA to engage with organisations whose products have shown merit in solving one of football’s pressing problems but, for whatever reason, are not currently in a position to be used in the game.

The main aim of the FIFA Innovation Programme is to provide a platform for products that have shown potential merit for use in football or the football experience but do not yet meet the requirements.
