 In a significant move aimed at modernising football consumption and reaching younger audiences, FIFA has officially named YouTube a “Preferred Platform” for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The partnership, announced in March 2026, forms part of FIFA’s broader strategy to expand digital access to the tournament while preserving the commercial value of traditional broadcasting rights. Contrary to widespread online claims suggesting a complete free live-streaming takeover of the World Cup on YouTube, the agreement adopts a more nuanced and hybrid broadcasting model.

 FAAN APPEALS FOR PATIENCE AND COOPERATION AS GO CASHLESS PROGRAMME COMMENCES


The federal airports authority of Nigeria (FAAN) appreciates all motorists and airport users as the faan go cashless programme officially comes into full operation on Sunday march 1st 2026, at the access gates of the Murtala Muhammed international airport Lagos and  Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport Abuja in alignment with the federal government’s directive on cashless transactions. 


 FAAN on its x handle acknowledges the traffic build-up experienced at the access gates on sunday march 1st. 


The authority says despite the wide publicity, notices, and repeated announcements issued ahead of the commencement date, a significant number of motorists opted to register for their go cashless cards at the gates on sunday which created pressure on the toll lanes and resulted in temporary gridlock. 


FAAN remains deeply empathetic to the inconvenience experienced. 


To ease the situation the authority has deployed additional personnel to the access gates, increased registration points to fast-track first-time card issuance, and enhanced on-ground coordination to improve traffic flow.


 FAAN therefore appeals for patience, understanding, and cooperation of all motorists adding that they are working diligently to stabilise and streamline the process.
