Data Sources & Disclaimer

Unofficial Website

World Cup 2026 Archive (formerly World Cup 2026 Live Hub) is an unofficial football information website published by Warren-Rice Studio. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by FIFA or any tournament organiser.

Final Static Archive

The tournament is complete and the website now serves a preserved final static archive. Public pages do not call project APIs, poll a live provider, or request runtime match data. The archive was prepared from reviewed tournament records collected during the competition.

Official Fixture And Tournament Data

FIFA official pages and manually FIFA-verified local records are the source of truth for fixtures, teams, kickoff times, venues, groups, results, and knockout structure. The local tournament dataset was reviewed and frozen for the final archive.

Preserved Provider Match Data

API-Football supplied match status, events, lineups, statistics, squads, and related provider records through server-side adapters during the tournament. Reviewed final records were saved into the static archive. API-Football is the original provider source for those records, but the published archive does not make live or runtime requests to its data API.

Rankings, Awards, And Player Photos

Final player leaderboards and tournament awards use FIFA official references and verified archived records. Player-photo references originated from provider squad data and images may still be loaded from the API-Sports public media service when available.

Video Highlights

Highlight videos, thumbnails, titles, and related metadata may come from FIFA, YouTube, and Now TV Hong Kong public YouTube sources. FIFA highlights may link out to YouTube. Now TV videos may be embedded where available and may be limited to viewers in Hong Kong. Video availability, playback, thumbnails, and region restrictions are controlled by YouTube, the broadcaster, and rights holders.

Archived Data Accuracy

The website is a historical archive, not a real-time information service. Preserved match events, lineups, statistics, standings, scores, and media references may contain provider errors, accepted gaps, later corrections, or links that become unavailable. Important information should be checked against current official sources.

Trademarks

FIFA, FIFA World Cup, team names, competition names, logos, and related marks belong to their respective owners. Their use on this website is for identification and informational purposes only.
