E163: Is the 2026 World Cup the financial crime event of the year?

What happens when you take a World Cup fixtures wall chart, the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, the UN sanctions list, and a little AI magic? You uncover the financial crime risks hiding inside the world's biggest sporting event.


The World Cup is one week away. While the world celebrates the beautiful game, the allure of football and its riches makes it an irresistible target for money launderers, sanctions evaders, and human traffickers.


Our expert hosts, Marit Rødevand and Fredrik Riiser, sit down to ask: What does the World Cup tell us about financial crime globally?


The par discuss: what the fixtures tell us about global corruption, to how an event this size stress-tests compliance teams worldwide, and the red flags every practitioner should know.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy
