Soccer & Technology from the FIFA Museum
Soccer, the world’s most popular sport, is constantly evolving – shaped not only by players and passion, but also by science and innovation.
Explore the technology and science behind the beautiful game at Science World's upcoming exhibition, Soccer & Technology from the FIFA Museum, presented in partnership with the Province of British Columbia. This travelling exhibition will make its North American debut at Science World on 15 May 2026, as Vancouver prepares to welcome the world to the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
From the pitch to the broadcast studio, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the technologies that influence how football is played, analysed and experienced today. It highlights how innovation supports key moments in the game – from refereeing decisions and performance analysis to the way matches are delivered to fans around the world.
At the same time, the exhibition shows how technology has developed alongside football over time. From early innovations to today’s advanced systems, it demonstrates how the game continues to evolve while keeping its human essence at the centre.
