    All around the world, people share the thrill and excitement of following sports. In today’s landscape, it has never been a better time to be a sports fan. Thanks to technology, fans can engage and connect with their sports heroes even more. In this article, we will give you an overview of how fan engagement and experiences are becoming more advanced.

    Placing A Virtual Bet Makes Betting More Realistic

    While sports betting has existed for years, betting online has only been prevalent in the last decades. With sports betting, fans have the opportunity to place bets on their favorite teams while potentially getting winnings in return. Because of its convenience, many prefer to place their bets online. However, because of holidays, sports tournaments are halted, making fans wait to place their bets. This is where a virtual bet comes in handy.

    A virtual bet acts as a regular bet online. However, these bets are on virtual games. With the help of data and statistics from actual games, a computer simulates an entirely random and not predetermined game. Therefore, when placing a virtual bet, the games tend to have quite a realistic feel to them. This allows for betting 24/7 since the games are completely computer-generated. And whether fans enjoy football, horse racing or tennis, the possibility of placing a virtual bet wherever and whenever exists.

    Drone Technology

    Watching the Tour de France or the Vuelta a España is a different experience compared to years ago. Most cycling fans have potentially noticed how drone technology has become more prevalent in the sport. Because there have been safety concerns in cycling, drones have made it safer for riders to avoid accidents on the road. Camera drones have sensors which can warn drivers in case of a bicycle ahead, preventing more accidents. 

    However, drones aren’t only beneficial for the riders. The drones are multifunctional and used in broadcasting since they capture more angles than regular cameras. The drones can truly capture the intensity of the sport, making it possible for fans to get an immersive experience.

    NFT Platforms

    More athletes are jumping on the bandwagon, as NFT is here to stay. Having revolutionized the art world, NFT makes sports memorabilia even more exciting, enhancing fan engagement. NFTs are just a part of boosting the athletes’ brands, as many collaborate with sports brands and other companies.

    As some of the most renowned athletes have offered NFTs, sports fans can invest in their favorite athletes and teams on specific platforms. On these platforms, users can sell and trade their NFTs, making for a trading experience not far from investing or stock trading.  

    Virtual Reality In Sports

    While it is a technology on the rise, virtual reality could potentially be one of the most significant technologies within sports. By wearing virtual reality glasses, sports fans can get a 360-degree view of any game, giving an immersive experience as if they were there. This can be a revolutionary technology for viewers who don’t have the opportunity to go to the actual game. From the comfort of their own home, fans can cheer on their favorite team and enjoy the game just as much.

    Smarter Stadiums

    From games in higher resolutions to parametric modeling, the future football stadiums will become more advanced. For the World Cup in 2022, the host Japan recorded high-resolution games and sent 3D models of the football players in holograms.

    Thanks to parametric modeling, the viewer experience will improve since there will be more focus on seating comfort and acoustics. Not only will the viewer experience be improved, but the safety of fans is also in focus. Because of surveillance networks, the hosts can monitor fan activity and protect viewers and players from rowdy fans.
