Recent trends indicate a significant decline in traditional sports consumption among the younger generation, who are increasingly drawn to alternative forms of content and interactive experiences.
Modern fans no longer passively watch games; they crave engagement and hyper-personalized interactions. To address this shift, broadcasters are compelled to enhance their conventional offerings. In light of the FIFA World Cup 2022, Deutsche Telekom sets out to test a new model that complements the traditional TV experience.
Their goal was to empower users with greater engagement and control over their World Cup experience without replacing the established TV viewing.
What fans said...
“If you like football, technology and tactics it’s massively interesting!”
“Cool app, fun experience. Exciting for Euro 2024 :)”
