The fans believed the match was fixed and the result of the match was updated on the FIFA website before the game was even completed. According to the points table update during the Uzbekistan vs Costa Rica game, Costa Rica had won the match and the hosts were eliminated from the tournament.

Is Futsal World Cup Fixed Really?

While the Futsal World Cup 2024 Points Table was actually updated on the official website of FIFA, the situation arose due to a confusion caused by regularly updating points table.

Probably, FIFA is using AI to update points table on the website during the game. As soon as the scores change during the match, the points table is updated to reflect that change. Probably, when Costa Rica were leading by one goal in the first half of the match, AI updated the points table and showed Costa Rica as winner.

However, when the Uzbeks equalized, the points table showed both teams gaining 1 point for the draw. That was quite an interesting situation, but it led to a big misunderstanding as everyone started to believe 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup is fixed. But that was not the case actually.

Futsal World Cup group stage matches will conclude on Sunday and then teams will play the knockouts after a day of rest. The knockout matches will begin from Tuesday, 24 September, 2024.
