VOGOSPORT expands its offering with its out-of-venue \u201cVirtual Seat\u201d solution for sports federations, leagues, clubs, event organisers, rights holders and broadcasters. <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new service addresses the needs of sports industry players who, to withstand the current health crisis, have to reinvent themselves, be ready for potential after-shocks and provide economic stakeholders in the sports economy new sources of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19: an unprecedented impact on the sports industry <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The effects of the Covid-19 health crisis were felt immediately by the sports industry with major national and international sporting being shut down or postponed as the epidemic spread. In addition to broadcasting rights which weigh upon club budgets, the industry continues to suffer heavy revenue losses (ticketing, advertising campaigns, merchandising, etc.) across the disciplines. As an indication, the economic impact of the crisis is estimated to have cost League 1 and 2 clubs \u20ac400m for the 2019-2020 season (source: KPMG Football Benchmark – excluding the impact on the transfer market). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As lockdown measures are gradually lifted, the French government has authorised professional training to resume for team sports clubs, and will reopen stadiums and racetracks from 11 July with a limit of 5,000 spectators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recovery underway… but a necessity: reinvention <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The easing of measures to contain Covid-19 is opening the way to recovery, with very encouraging signs for VOGO\u2019s activity. But the return to normal will be gradual and the possibility of a future crisis means that today the world of professional sports must reinvent their practices, the fan experience, broadcasting channels for events and economic models, which until now have been the norm. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVirtual Seat\u201d: an innovative solution for enjoying a live experience outside the stadium <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VOGO is seeking to be at the centre of this transformation in which new technologies play a decisive role. This is the premise of the new \u201cVirtual Seat\u201d offering for federations, clubs, events organisers, rights holders and broadcasters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
