The 2026 Football World Cup will be the biggest ever, jointly hosted by USA, Canada and Mexico. The whole thing controlled by FIFA from Zurich, but someone has to make it work from Miami, and that task falls to the 2026 Deliverance Team, an elite team of experts and executives cherry - picked from the three host nations. Cue the creation of a new post, the 'Director of Integrity'. Someone with an unimpeachable record of achievement at the centre of complex organisations and large -scale public events. Enter Ian Fletcher - former Head of Deliverance for the London 2012 Olympics, and a man who has got where he has because of a unique capacity to stay calm under pressure and remain relentlessly positive even when all available evidence points in the opposite direction.
