FIFA has officially unveiled the Technical Study Group (TSG) for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a team of experienced football minds tasked with analysing the tournament and providing technical insights throughout the competition.
The initiative, conceived by former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, will be headed by former Switzerland goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbühler.
The group features several renowned football personalities, including Otto Addo, Tobin Heath, Jürgen Klinsmann, Jayne Ludlow, Michael O’Neill, Gilberto Silva, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Paulo Wanchope, Aron Winter and Pablo Zabaleta.
Also included in the panel is FIFA’s Lead of Football Performance Insights, Tom Gardner.
