Challenges Facing Sport Today

Fragmented Fan Experiences Across Physical and Digital Platforms

Fragmented Fan Experiences Across Physical and Digital Platforms

Fans attending sports events in person have a vastly different experience than those engaging online. This fragmentation limits the ability of teams and venues to provide a unified and engaging fan experience.

Lack of Real-Time Operational Efficiency in Stadiums

Lack of Real-Time Operational Efficiency in Stadiums

Sports venues often lack real-time data analytics to optimise their operations, leading to inefficiencies in managing crowds, utilities, and security. Manual interventions are often needed, which delays responses and increases costs.

Limited Fan Engagement and Declining Attendance

Traditional methods of fan engagement, such as in-stadium events and social media campaigns, are no longer sufficient to attract and retain fans. Younger audiences, in particular, expect more interactive, personalised, and immersive experiences.

Athlete Injuries Affecting Team Performance and Revenue
