(i) FIFA Content
5.1 All FIFA Content, including FIFA feeds, is owned by, or
licensed to, FIFA. FIFA Content is provided to You “AS IS” and may
not be used, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast,

revocable, non-exclusive license to access and use the FIFA Digital
Platforms privately for non-commercial purposes, in accordance with
these Terms.
"FIFA Digital Platforms" is defined as the website and their App.So... doesn't really sound like an "official API" in the sense of being something you could use to create your own world-cup data-based apps or web sites...
What I have heard from a guy on Twitter is that if you get the number of the match then you can: http://live.mobileapp.fifa.com/api/wc/match/300186492/en
Also if you put /blog at the end of that URL you get the latest news regarding that match.
