FIFA World Cup 2026: Public enthusiasm and brand opportunities through special edition products

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final is just around the corner. Spain and Argentina will face off in the final to compete for the world championship title. According to a survey conducted by Cimigo, Indonesians are divided in their enthusiasm for this year’s tournament. A total of 46% of respondents believe that this year’s tournament has been less exciting than the 2022 edition in Qatar, while a further 47% consider the FIFA World Cup 2026 to be just as exciting, if not more so. Those who found this year’s tournament less exciting cited match schedules that were less compatible with their daily routines (46%) as the main reason. Conversely, among those who found the tournament more exciting, 42% said that the participating teams and players were more appealing.

Among those who followed or watched the FIFA World Cup 2026, bottled water (37%) was considered the beverage category most suitable for launching a special World Cup edition, followed by isotonic drinks (29%) and coffee (27%). For food categories, packaged nuts (24%), fast food (21%), and potato chips (20%) were regarded as the most suitable products to feature a special World Cup edition. Beyond food and beverages, several other product categories were also seen as suitable for special World Cup editions, including apparel (69%), sports equipment (46%), and toys or collectibles such as action figures, trading cards, and mascots (36%).

Despite differing opinions on the excitement of this year’s tournament, Argentina (63%) remains the favourite to lift the FIFA World Cup 2026 trophy.

The survey findings suggest that the FIFA World Cup is not only a global sporting event but also presents an opportunity for brands to launch special edition products and engage a wider consumer audience.

The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia. The fact they also pulled off a third project for us so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.
