The Group’s MD and Group CEO not only praised the large public attendance but also the Pro League’s efforts in laying all the necessary groundwork for a successful match, which also incorporates MBME Group’s secure solutions and innovative channels, such as mobile phones smart applications, and digital platforms that facilitate obtaining match details and schedules, whilst creating a secure data analysis process. Moreover, for those unable to physically be present at the stadium, alternative viewing and participation options are attainable through live broadcasts, virtual reality, and interactive chats with other fans, which in turn helps to extrapolate their different interests and interactive behaviors through the multi-lingual easy-to-use applications. Additionally, fans’ connection with their favorite team is strengthened when purchasing the latter’s souvenirs or their favorite player’s signed jerseys. As a result, the fan’s and audience’s experience, and their connection to matches and all subsequent events, are fully enriched and personalized.
