World Cup data for journalists and football content professionals
What is StatPiece?
StatPiece is a World Cup statistics database built for football journalists, commentators, and editors. It covers every FIFA World Cup from 1930 to 2026 with match results, goal events, and copy-ready stats designed for pre-match preparation and post-match reporting.
The goal is simple: find an accurate, usable World Cup stat in under 30 seconds and copy it directly into your coverage.
Data coverage
Data sources
Primary data is sourced from historical FIFA World Cup records cross-referenced against official match reports. Goal events and match results are individually validated before publication.
Where data gaps exist — particularly for early tournaments and some 2022 matches — these are tracked internally as validation issues. They are excluded from published stats rather than estimated or auto-filled.
2026 fixture data comes from the official FIFA schedule.
Stat accuracy
Stats go through an internal review process before appearing publicly. Each stat is checked against source data and marked Verified before it is displayed on public pages.
Some stats in the pipeline are still under review and may contain minor inaccuracies. These are not shown publicly until confirmed.
