FIFA World Cup 2026 Rewards API
A sports-data-driven rewards engine that turns live World Cup moments into customer rewards inside a consumer fintech app.
// THE CHALLENGE
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is a once-in-a-generation engagement moment, and a telecom fintech wanted to ride it: reward customers around real match events — predictions, results, milestones — while the tournament is happening.
That means depending on live third-party sports data, and managing a complete reward lifecycle under campaign conditions: eligibility, allocation, redemption, and expiry must all be correct when thousands of customers qualify in the same moment a match ends.
// THE SOLUTION
I designed a rewards engine that consumes live fixtures, results, and match events from the AllSports API and maps them onto configurable reward rules, decoupling the unreliable outside world (sports data) from the part that must never be wrong (reward issuance).
The engine covers the full reward lifecycle — eligibility evaluation, allocation, redemption, and expiry — built in TypeScript with idempotent processing so that replays and data corrections never double-issue a reward.
// THE OUTCOME
Full reward lifecycle designed and implemented for the World Cup 2026 campaign season.
