Dear Valued Client,
We are pleased to announce minor changes for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, to ensure you continue to receive data of the highest quality.
The new IFAB rules are now reflected in the Live Data XML feed for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
All changes are technically non-breaking; no updates to your XSD schema or SDK integrations are required.
The update covers new VAR attributes, support for timed substitutions, and a new event for free kicks taken.

Your Sportradar team
