Market

SPorts & esports fans between the age group of 16-50 in ASEAN.

Sports fans in ASEAN today are at 69 Million and expected to from 7.2x to 494 Million by 2024.

Sports fans in ASEAN today are at $29 Billion and expected to from 6.9x to $202 Billion by 2024.

Problem or Opportunity

As sports leagues and teams continue to evolve in their ability to collect, analyse and act on their various sources of data, fans will end up being the ultimate beneficiaries of a more sophisticated and personalised approach through contextually relevant marketing practices.

The need every sports brand has is to find, grow and sustain an engaged fan base. Over the past few years, it’s become clear that the best way to accomplish this is through rich data that provides insights into how, when and where their fans want to engage.

In today’s sports ecosystem, engagement has become extremely fragmented because it is taking place in so many different ways: in venue; through traditional TV and radio broadcasts; on mobile devices; within team and league websites, apps and emails; through streaming services; and on numerous social media platforms.

Thats one of the primary reason why the sports industry is highly fragmented and this makes following sports difficult and time consuming.

Solution (product or service)

That why we built WTF where :

We are placing the fan at the heart of the organization
We are creating a community that builds long-lasting and valuable relationships.
WTF will turn Fans’ social connections into organic Brand awareness and broad Reach.
WTF will be able to create one of the most important sports loving / fan engagement communities in the world.

Hence We’ve developed the solution where WTF bundles everything sports fans need into a single destination Curated by user preferences allowing fans to :
