“IT’S GOING FASTER THAN THINKING”
Speaking about the team’s new project, Nuria Tarre, Manchester City’s marketing and fan engagement manager, said: “Being a part of the metaverse universe means recreating the game, allowing the fans to watch the match live wherever they want, being a part of the match in many different ways from different angles and being a part of the game. “Maybe it means that the stadium can host unlimited fans. Because it’s unlimited, it’s completely virtual. Maybe 10 years from now, seeing someone sitting on their couch watching a game on the screen in front of them is something we can’t even imagine. Things are moving faster than we thought.”
WILL PROVIDE FINANCIAL FACILITIES TO CLUBS
Transferring football matches to the metaverse universe will contribute financially to the teams. Normally, teams sell the broadcasting rights of Premier League matches to certain broadcasters as part of the package. However, with the transfer of the matches to the virtual reality world, the teams will have the chance to sell the broadcasts of the matches directly to the fans.
