MIAMI, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the FIFA World Cup 2026 comes to an end, Miami-based Link.Me is emerging as one of the tournament's biggest behind-the-scenes winners. FIFA selected Link.Me as the centralized social destination connecting fans from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, Threads and other platforms to World Cup schedules, highlights, ticketing, updates and fan destinations. Since FIFA began using Link.Me, its combined social media following has grown by more than 50 million followers, surpassing 300 million across its connected platforms.
"We are proud an organization of FIFA's global magnitude selected Link.Me to anchor their digital engagement during the World Cup," said Net Kohen, co-founder and CEOÂ of Link.Me. "A follower count is just an aesthetic metric unless you can convert those eyeballs into active customers, ticket buyers, and brand advocates. By proving we can drive immediate conversion on a global scale under the pressure of a World Cup cycle, we've shown the future of social commerce isn't static link-in-bio directories but dynamic operating systems that turn attention into enterprise value."
