[00:00:00] Art Amor: Welcome back to Silicon Bridge, your bridge between the bleeding edge of tech and the business reality behind it. My name is Art. Today we're going to start by talking about the ultimate intersection of global entertainment and the massive stadium tech.
[00:00:14] Ashish Rao: And I'm Ash. The matches are set, the semifinals are officially wrapped, and the world is buzzing.
[00:00:19] Ashish Rao: It is locked in, defending champion Argentina versus Spain for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.
[00:00:28] Art Amor: This is a dream matchup. Argentina just fought through an absolute battle against England in the semis, winning 2-1 thanks to late goals by Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez, and Spain secured its spot by locking down a dominant 2-0 win over France.
[00:00:46] Ashish Rao: The final is happening this Sunday right on our neck of the woods at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, though FIFA calls it the New York-New Jersey Stadium.
