MATCH’s primary Event IT objective is to provide the IT systems and services that enable the successful operational delivery of each event and also meet the expectations of key and diverse FIFA user groups. MATCH has the obligation to deliver the event ‘IT Solution’ requirements of FIFA for all of the aforementioned events.
This encompasses a select number of mission critical systems that support event related business processes including accreditation, volunteer/event staffing and transportation. MATCH is also responsible for the implementation of a telecommunications network solution using a collection of advanced technologies to connect hundreds of event locations in support of key user groups including the FIFA delegation and staff, the event Organizing Committee as well as the thousands of members of the media who will attend each event. This network has the challenge of also supporting the delivery of the products and services of all areas of MATCH in a seamless manner before and during all event activities.
MATCH oversees the complex deployment and recovery of a massive number of network and communication devices, computers, printers, servers and cabling for all event locations.
During the event period, MATCH leads an event monitoring and support operation that integrates resources from all organizations that are a part of the event IT Solution including FIFA, the event Organizing Committee, FIFA’s Commercial Affiliates and service providers.
