Mass-appeal events have become prime targets for global cybercrime. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, the cybersecurity company ESET Venezuela organized a specialized online event to analyze the main digital threats facing fans.

 During the session, experts shared and explained that collective enthusiasm and the urgency to obtain tickets or exclusive promotions often cloud users’ judgment. This psychological factor is exploited by attackers to carry out large-scale financial scams and identity theft.

 Most common frauds in online football

The technical presentation detailed that the most common types of fraud operate through:

Cloning websites dedicated to selling tickets.

Deceptive offers of travel packages and accommodations.

Furthermore, ESET analysts examined for participants how cybercriminals use social media, instant messaging applications, and fake websites. Using advanced social engineering techniques, attackers impersonate official sponsors to trick victims into downloading malicious applications, compromising their mobile devices and exposing their banking information.

Key digital security tips for the World Cup season

To mitigate this vulnerability, the ESET Venezuela team shared practical recommendations for maintaining safe browsing during the global event:

• Verify the authenticity of all links received.
• Avoid entering credentials or financial data on unofficial platforms.
• Be wary of raffles or prizes of dubious origin.

In this way, the company reaffirmed the need to adopt a digital security approach to fully enjoy the biggest football event without putting technological, personal, or corporate assets at risk.

Euro 2024, which began on June 14 and mobilizes thousands of fans around the world, now has official foreign sponsorship. This is the Chinese automobile company BYD (Build Your Dreams), replacing the German Volkswagen, which was at the helm from 2018 to 2023.

Everything points to a change of course and strategy marked by mobility and sustainability, taking into account that the Chinese company BYD, in full expansion, leads the electric vehicle market.

The company was founded in 1995 (Shenzhen, China) and quickly rose in the market, to the point of recently surpassing the American Tesla, run by Elon Musk.

It entered the European market in 2022 and now has 230 sales establishments in 19 countries, in addition to expansion plans.

Apparently, the philosophy of the new sponsor fit into the new orientation of the organizers of Euro 2024, who want a more sustainable tournament. In this sense, the official fleet of the tournament will be made up of electric vehicles by BYD, with the goal of reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to sustainability. BYD, for its part, has announced events that promote electric mobility in the fan zones of the host cities.

Agility meets style with the BYD DOLPHIN MINI. This compact trailblazer features an ultra-safe Blade Battery, high-tech features, and a 235-mile NEDC range – perfect for dribbling through city streets on your way to the next big match. pic.twitter.com/KSUI01Ttif

Prominence of foreign sponsorship

According to UEFA, there are five commercial partners in the sponsorship of the sporting event most anticipated by fans. The organization indicated that the Adidas brand will deliver the balls and equipment for volunteers and employees. Likewise, the French digital services company Atos will be in charge of the tournament’s computer technology. Coca-Cola accompanies them in the supply of all supplies for the hydration of the fans, the volunteers and the dehydration officials. The German railway company Deutsche Bahn is in charge of Euro-Tickets at special prices.

Boost to the German economy could be 1,000 million euros

The host country of Euro 2024 could add around 1 billion euros to its economy from the profits derived from foreign tourists who travel to enjoy soccer matches.

The forecast of the economic research institute, ifo, indicates that the figure would correspond to 0.1 % of economic production in the second quarter of the year. The sectors with the greatest benefit from the sporting event are hospitality and food retail in Germany.

The Real Madrid Foundation reported this Monday that the Spanish team Real Madrid will have an academy in Venezuela, with the support of Banplus, in the spaces of the Metropolitan University (Unimet) in Caracas.

They indicated that they have already organized “soccer camps and clinics with the team in several states of Venezuela, they reiterated Real Madrid’s willingness to continue betting on national talent, so they would not want to stay only with the Caracas academy, but rather expand to several cities in the country.”

The MVP Mundo organization is in charge of this alliance between the Real Madrid Foundation and the Metropolitan University (Unimet). As they pointed out to the media, the academy will have its main headquarters at this university, with the support of Banplus Banco Universal, where they have been recruiting new talents in soccer in all the cities of Venezuela.

With the presentation of the project, it was announced that currently more than 550 children have gone through the foundation’s training. Furthermore, nearly 300 of them have obtained “scholarships to fulfill their dream of becoming professional players in teams like Atlético de Madrid.”

The foundation has trained children and young people since 2012. Now, with the academy, they want to provide support to children “who want to play soccer from the age of four until they are professionals, because the idea is not to provide them with training of a few days or weeks, as was done with the clinics and camps, but that they can have a permanent academy from Monday to Friday.”

It is important to note that there is a fee for participation in these Real Madrid sports camps, which was set at USD 160 per month. However, those who show high performance may opt for a scholarship.

Bayern Munich reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for the transfer of striker Harry Kane for around 100 million euros (108 million dollars), various media reported this Thursday.

According to the portal The Athletic, citing sources in Germany, the decision on a pass to the Bundesliga now corresponds to the English player himself, 30 years old. The Sky pay-TV channel also reported on it.

Kane could thus become the most expensive signing in the history of the Munich club and, predictably, one of the players with the highest income. For his part, the footballer pushed for a decision to be made before the start of the Premier League this weekend.

The captain of the England team still has a contract at Tottenham until the (European) summer of 2024, but Spurs and especially the club’s owner, Joe Lewis, were not willing to lose their striker on a free transfer. Therefore, Lewis had demanded the immediate sale of Kane if he refused to sign a new contract with the London club.

The striker has been performing regularly in the Premier League for years. Only last season he scored 30 goals in 38 English league games, second only to Norwegian Erling Haaland (36 goals), from champion Manchester City. However, Kane plays for Tottenham Hotspur and therefore a much weaker team.

With 213 goals, Kane trails only Alan Shearer (260 goals) on the list of top scorers in the English league. The athlete is also very reliable in the national team. And it is precisely this reliability that values, among other virtues, the German champion.

One of the great Venezuelan objectives, which convenes and unites the most, for the coming years, and the most important in soccer -without a doubt-, is that Venezuela manages to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, to be held jointly in Canada, United States and Mexico; which is achievable and possible, if we all come together and row in the same direction, so to speak. We must bet that this inclusive dream comes true. There are many more coincidences than differences in sport, and that’s great for our country and its citizens everywhere.

We talked with Sebastián Cano Caporales, founder of the emblematic Secasports junior soccer school, located in Valencia – Carabobo State; trainer of experience and trajectory, who recognizes that a lot of work has been done and is being done in that direction. We share the first part of this interview in this informative delivery.

We must all add and multiply, in favor of Venezuela and its classification, not subtract or divide

Cano Caporales does not hesitate to state that we are entering “the most important three and a half years in the history of Venezuelan soccer.” And he adds that “never before had such favorable sensitivity been perceived, the dream had never been so real and the possibility had been so tangible that this would come true.” We all have the same dream, and we are all working, from the Federation, from the football associations, in every professional team, in every corner of the country, and of course in every school.

Unite, to bring forward the good, the best that the Venezuelan and his football have

For Sebastián Cano Caporales, we must continue looking for and strengthening the meeting points. Let each of the parties solidify them. There have to be reasons, from minor to professional football; to bring forward the best that Venezuelan soccer has and that we Venezuelans have. From the slightest idea to contribute, add value, optimize, strengthen the great general idea, which produces what we are all looking forward to.

The exciting and successful case of Argentina can serve as an example

I say Argentina –says the trainer Cano Caporales–, because it is a South American country and brother that is also part of CONMEBOL, their perseverance and dream have been close, from the point of view that we are in the same confederation. Although deep down in their hearts, every Latin American feels that their team can be the protagonist of a World Cup.

In the recent The Best FIFA awards, created in 2016, revised and updated to recognize the best each season, we saw how Argentina won the largest number of awards: Lionel Messi, Dibu Martínez, Lionel Scaloni, and even their fans. , who precisely won the award or recognition for the Hobby of the Year.

Deyna Castellanos is one of the great soccer players in the world. He is the leader of the Vinotinto team and Manchester City of England. As the new official image of Bancamiga, he hopes to “create things together” to motivate young people and boost the country’s strengths.

“We share many values ​​with Bancamiga, and it is a source of pride that they trusted me to be part of the team,” she said, adding that today it is an honor for her to represent all the bank’s workers, which has just been recognized for the second year ranked as a great place to work, according to Great Place to Work, a similar leader in organizational culture.

Although many intuit it, Deyna’s love for soccer was love at first sight. It all started at the age of five. It was at that age that he had his first contact with this sport, which happened when his mother took his older brother to the games.

“I started running and kicking the ball. That was in Maracay, at the San Ignacio soccer school. One day, a coach saw me and talked to my parents. My dad didn’t agree, because it was a boy’s sport, so my mom secretly took me. My dad used to travel a lot and one day he came unexpectedly and saw me in my uniform. He asked me and I told him I was going to the game. He also fell in love with football when he saw me play,” he said.

She confessed that he has achieved many important goals such as being part of the Venezuelan team, winning the Under 17 Golden Boot, obtaining a sports and academic scholarship in the United States and playing professional soccer.

“I have had the talent, the discipline, the fortune and the dedication to be in great teams. However, there is an unfulfilled dream: to qualify for an absolute World Cup-”

“My mother, a super heroine”

For “Deyna, La Reina”, as she is affectionately called, not everything has been easy. There are still countries where women’s soccer is not respected and where the macho culture is imposed, as happened in Venezuela and in some Latin American nations, so their generation has had to break that paradigm.

“Every step I take has been great and has opened many doors for other (players),” she stressed.

He maintained that he wants to transmit this passion with which he plays to all young people. “I am very happy to be part of Bancamiga because I can provide motivation to all Venezuelan youth through soccer. It is a great challenge to represent Bancamiga, but at the same time a great honor.”

When asked about the figure that has inspired her the most throughout her life, she does not hesitate to say that it was her mother. It was and still is, for all the sacrifices it has made. “I think of her as a superhero,” she said.

For the new official image of Bancamiga, it is necessary to fight for respect for human rights, for gender equality and persevere to achieve dreams.

“I am very happy to be part of Bancamiga because I can provide motivation to all Venezuelan youth through soccer, which is my greatest passion. It is a great challenge to represent them, but at the same time a great honor”, ​​he stated.

Castellanos stressed that assuming this new responsibility leads her to promote the courage that has been key to the success of her sports career. “For me, it is vital to praise the good things we have in Venezuela and that they be recognized.”

Triumph, passion and perseverance converge in Deyna, driving her to create a footballing career of great magnitude, with two South American U-17 Championships and a record of 14 goals that make her the historical scorer of these championships.

Deyna, “The Queen” of football

The soccer player affectionately receives the title of “Deyna La Reina”, thanks to her innate talent for football. A native of Maracay, Aragua state, she is currently an athlete who signed a three-year contract with Manchester City in England, where she wears the 10 shirt, a number that distinguishes leading players in football.

During the Copa América 2022, he was a guide and a fundamental piece to engage the team. Bancamiga represents development and innovation for Castellanos, who described as “motivating” that they support Venezuelan sports.

Similarly, the organization is very aware of what Deyna Castellanos means to the country due to her dedication and character. Together, they combine in that great passion and perseverance to continue building a brighter future.

In this sense, Ariel José Martínez Coujil, executive president of Bancamiga, highlighted the commitment of the institution that seeks to connect with Venezuelans through the king of sports, and in this way, strengthen their identity with an emblematic figure and what better way to do it than with a Vinotinto talent.
