The 2026 FIFA World Cup opens in June — and a generation of kids will spend that summer playing soccer in the local park inspired by what they're watching on TV. Trackd is the A$199 AI camera mount that lets parents, coaches, and grassroots clubs film those matches hands-free, so the moments don't pass without a record. Pre-orders ship before opening day.
Why this matters during the tournament
Major tournaments drive a measurable spike in grassroots participation. Kids who watch Messi, Mbappé or the Matildas play want to be on a pitch the next morning. Many of those moments — first goals, first hat-tricks, the season's best free kicks — happen in the World Cup window. Without a hands-free camera, most of them aren't captured. Trackd's pitch is simple: don't miss them.
What Trackd does during a match
- Films full matches automatically from the sideline tripod.
- Tracks the ball using on-device AI — no subscription, no cloud, no internet needed.
- Records to your iPhone in 4K HDR; clips share instantly via iMessage, WhatsApp, or Drive.
- One mount can be passed between teams in a club across a Saturday's matches.
- Pairs naturally with the World Cup viewing experience — kids watching real games, then playing their own with the camera on.
Pre-order timing
Production is scaled to ship pre-orders before the FIFA World Cup opener in June 2026. Order now to lock in delivery before opening day. Free international shipping; pre-orders can be cancelled any time before dispatch for a full refund — your funds are held by Shopify until your order ships.
World Cup at home: practical guide

- Tripod up, iPhone in, press record — full setup under 60 seconds.
- Film the pickup game or club match. Share clips with friends and family who watched the broadcast that morning.
