Content creator IShowSpeed is expected to be heavily involved in the 2026 World Cup, which kicks off later this week.

Speed is one of the biggest streamers in the world right now and has previously worked with the likes of WWE to promote himself.

The content creator is now collaborating with FIFA and has been gifted the first FIFA Fan ID this week as a thank you for producing his World Cup song ‘Champions’.

Gianni Infantino gives IShowSpeed the first FIFA Fan ID ahead of 2026 World Cup

Speed shared a post on X/Twitter alongside the organisation’s president, Gianni Infantino, who was giving the creator the first ID.

Within the post, Infantino is quoted as thanking the streamer for producing his ‘Champions’ World Cup song

He said: “I thanked Speed for playing a leading role in showcasing the unifying power of football and music through the high-energy ‘Champions’ song”.

The aforementioned song is even going to be part of FIFA’s official World Cup 2026 album.

Meanwhile, with the World Cup taking place across North America this summer, Speed is set to go on a ‘World Cup 26’ tour.

The creator made a name for himself doing IRL (in real life) streams that have taken him all over the world.

Exactly what his World Cup Tour is going to entail isn’t completely clear, but it may well see Speed live-streaming around various matches.

He is well known for being a fan of former Manchester United and Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo and often uses his ‘Siuu’ celebration.

In turn, it probably wouldn’t be surprising to see Speed filming around Portugal matches this summer and maybe even working with Ronaldo himself.

Portugal will kick off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a Group K meeting against DR Congo on Wednesday, June 17.
