The Daily Mail reported that Burnley fans will be able to sit at home next week and "in person" Tefmore Stadium to watch the friendly match against Lazio through virtual reality technology.
This Premier League promoted team will become the world's first football club to provide virtual reality viewing experience. No matter where you are, fans only need to wear a VR headset to instantly "travel" to the eastern part of Lancashire. The new move, which industry insiders believe could revolutionize the way football watches, was launched by the club in collaboration with virtual reality expert Rezzil. The two sides will jointly present this showdown with Lazio on Saturday, which is officially called "the world's first immersive virtual reality live broadcast."
After the audience who cannot visit the scene in person wears VR equipment, they will receive exclusive "virtual seats" before the game starts and enjoy the panoramic view of the stadium. The service also includes real-time commentary and live sound effects, creating a "single-person VR environment designed for focused, non-interference viewing", and delivering "the passion of Tefmore Stadium directly to homes around the world."
Burnley Club said that the move marks their position at the forefront of fan interaction and football digital innovation, and demonstrates the club's firm commitment to using emerging technologies to enhance the fan experience. Chairman Allen Pace added: "This reflects our forward-looking fan interaction strategy and the emphasis on global supporters. Our mission is to provide the best experience for fans, and virtual reality technology gives them an unprecedented sense of presence."
Viewers who want to watch the game start at 3pm through VR must be equipped with a Meta Quest headset and Premier League Player app. Rezzil co-founder Andy Edges said: "We are very honored to be working with Burnley Club and Premier League Player to bring fans a truly next-generation football experience. This training technology, which has long been trusted by elite athletes, will now serve fans. It is an innovation in the way of watching the game, just like truly sitting in the stands."
