As global tournaments expand in size, complexity and audience reach, live sports delivery has become a question of orchestration, resilience and cost control at scale. This session will explore how modern, cloud-based workflows are enabling global streaming platforms to distribute major global events efficiently and reliably — with reference to the scale and operational demands of the FIFA Club World Cup. The conversation will combine platform-level operational perspective with technical orchestration insight.

Core Themes:

1. Scaling for Global Tournaments

2. Orchestration (moving to automated, cloud-based workflows)

3. Cost control without compromise

4. Lesson from the 2025 Club World Cup
