che 2022 World Cup kicked off yesterday in Qatar, there BoboTV lands on Raiuno. Bobo Vieri, creator of the Twitch channel, and his “chat friends” Lele Adani, Nicola Ventola and Antonio Cassano will comment on the matches with 5′ nocturnal pills. The appointment with BoboTV is on Raiuno around 11.30 pm, at the end of the program Il circolo dei Mondiali where the comments are, instead, by the director of RaiSport Alessandra De Stefano and former Olympians Sara Simeoni and Jury Chechi.
What is BoboTV
Launched in spring 2020 by Bobo Vieri on his Twitch channel, the BoboTV it soon became a mass phenomenon. From an antidote to the boredom of the quarantine from Covid, in fact, the live streaming chats of the former bomber with friends have become a real unconventional sports channel.
Vieri, Adani, Ventola and Cassano freely discuss football, often indulging in over-the-top comments.
Without filters
It is precisely its being without filters that decrees the success of BoboTv. cIn fact, anyone who looks at it is probably not looking for fine technical interventions, but does so to smile a little. The four former footballers, each from his own position complete with headphones on his ears, do not send them to say and analyze in a light-hearted and ironic way, the sports chronicles without stopping at football. It goes without saying that there is no script and that no one, at least until now, has put their mouth on the friendly chats of the 4 associates.
BoboTV, from Twitch to Rai
The success of BoboTV convinced Rai executives to land Bobo Vieri’s virtual studio on the flagship network: Vieri and Ventola will be in Milan, Cassano will be in Genoa and Adani in Qatar where he is also a Rai commentator. The pretext is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar to which Rai has won the rights but which, due to the failure of the Azzurri to qualify, have lost much of their appeal.
Thus, where once the Gialappa’s Band raged with its strictly comic programs, now comes BoboTV which, at times, becomes involuntarily comical.

Coming out of the Twitch bubble, however, BoboTV could lose some of its “hold” on the audience. First, because BoboTV’s natural audience is not that of Raiuno, then because even Vieri himself knows that there is a Fantantonio (this is Cassano’s nickname) to contain. “The only problem will be to keep Antonio calm,” he said when the landing on Raiuno was announced. And one of the latest speeches by the former champion of Rome, Sampdoria and Real Madrid, who while not naming names let himself go into very colorful outbursts, further proved Vieri’s fears right. To see what will happen in the next few days, just turn on the TV.
