What's in it (and what's not)

The dataset contains only factual reference fields: teams, kickoff times in UTC and SAST, group, venue. It explicitly does not contain match picks, betting odds, predictions, bookmaker comparisons, or any commercial / affiliate URLs. This is a research dataset, not a betting product.

Group composition is from the December 2025 FIFA draw. Kickoffs and venues are placeholder-pinned to a realistic distribution and one of the 16 official host stadia per group; they will be replaced with the FIFA-published per-fixture schedule in v2.0. The opening fixture (Mexico v South Africa, Group A) is pinned to 21:00 SAST on 11 June 2026 at Estadio Banorte (Azteca).
