Influencer marketing platform Lefty has revealed the top 20 football creators for brands ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, as the tournament prepares to become the largest sporting event in history.
Co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico, the expanded 48-team format spans 104 matches across 16 host cities, with FIFA projecting 6 billion global viewers. The event is estimated to contribute $41 billion to global GDP, while analysts expect the final alone to account for nearly 7% of total global internet traffic on match day as streaming overtakes linear television.
