Manchester City, England's premier soccer team at the present, plays their home games at Etihad Stadium. On February 18, the team announced the signing of a three-year deal with Sony, which will supply virtual reality professionals with image analysis and skeletal-tracking technologies\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> from subsidiary Hawk-Eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City<\/a> is hoping that fans would make use of all the advantages of having a virtual stadium. Despite the fact that Covid restrictions continue to limit travel possibilities for some, the opportunity to watch games in an immersive Metaverse setting could be a welcome reprieve for those who have been longing to return to a gaming setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By constructing the virtual Etihad Stadium, the club is breaking down geographic barriers for fans who want to be a part of live or recorded games. Nuria Tarre, the chief marketing officer of City Football Group, told Inews on February 18 that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole point we could imagine of having a Metaverse is you can recreate a game, you could watch the game live, you\u2019re part of the action in a different way through different angles and you can fill the stadium<\/a> as much as you want because it\u2019s unlimited, it\u2019s completely virtual.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hawk-Eye, a Sony<\/a> subsidiary, has long been committed to improving sports for spectators and authorities. It uses sophisticated playback technology to assist referees in making in-game decisions in real-time. In the Metaverse, its visualization technologies will be used to reproduce the dimensions of Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football clubs and the Metaverse ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool <\/a>FC may be interested in Man City's push into Web3 and the Metaverse. According to ECHO, a Liverpool news outlet, the Reds may follow suit in order to increase revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivals Manchester United <\/a>has also entered the Web3 ecosystem, announcing a new relationship with Tezos (XTZ) on February 10. Tezos will be the team's official cryptocurrency and training equipment partner, as well as a potential partner in the development of digital products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
