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.
