Roblox, an online service used by over 150 million people worldwide, has partnered with the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) to launch the 'FIFA World Cup 2026™ Event Hub,' the largest official sports event in the platform's history.

Moreover, the excitement extends beyond 'FIFA Super Soccer' to a total of six games, including five popular Roblox titles, through a large-scale crossover event.
