“The metaverse itself is a huge opportunity for the world to add a new layer of human interaction to society. For sports specifically, it could create access points and virtual experiences for new audiences. This is not mutually exclusive with the joy of physical interaction of sports, but rather an extension that will allow for more inclusion across the industry.”
“ESports is the best showcase for this: following the increased demand in purely digital competitions, especially among the younger generations, the sector has experienced enormous growth. And while the sport is happening entirely online, fans still enjoy gathering in real-world stadiums and see their favourite teams play on the ground.”
“At the end of the day, none of this is about trying to replace the physical interactions needed to play soccer, tennis, or basketball: it is about extending the reach of those physical events and developing new forms of engagement for fans.” – Web3 Studio Report
