The Starting 11 Is Coming to Fanzone ⚽

We continue to enrich the Fanzone with new features designed to maximize fan engagement and offer ever more flexibility in your activations. This release brings significant improvements to existing blocks while introducing a brand new game mechanic dedicated to football fans — set to be a strong activation for the 2026 World Cup!

⚽ New block: The Starting 11.

Bring the match to life before kick-off!

This new format will allow fans to compose their team for an upcoming match directly in the Fanzone, selecting the formation then players position by position on an interactive pitch. It is also possible to compose both teams for a given event.

Setup is very simple: interconnected with our Sports API, you simply need to choose a club or a competition. Automatically, this component updates and will invite your fans to predict the next team lineup before each event.

Once fans have confirmed their lineup, it will be compared to the real one, with a points and XP system to reinforce engagement.

Fully automated and customizable in your brand colors, this block integrates naturally into your matchday activations and offers an immersive mechanic that turns every fan into a team selector for the duration of a match.

Of course, this component includes many settings so it can adapt to different use cases.

This new format is intended to be expanded to other sports soon.
