The deal will see SPORTbible live stream the final of the World Street Soccerex Championships, taking place at the Festival, to their worldwide facebook audience of over 10 million. The Festival, which is returning to Manchester for its fourth edition in the North West, will bring together the best street soccer teams, from across the globe, to battle it out in 3 vs. 3 matches for the prestigious title of World Champions. The tournament will feature some of the biggest and best freestylers in the game, such as Edward Van Gils and Séan Garnier who played last year.
The partnership will also see SPORTbible participating in the Global Convention’s conference agenda, with their Publisher Paul Rayner speaking as part of a panel discussing the ‘Future of Fan Generated Content’ alongside James Kirkham, Head of Copa90, and Arsenal Fan TV’s Robbie Lyle. Manchester based SPORTbible have emerged as an ever evolving presence across football’s content platforms, with an audience of over 14m across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and Paul will be providing delegates with exclusive insight into the channel’s growth and ambitions for the future.
Discussing the partnership, Soccerex Marketing Director, David Wright said: “I am really excited by this partnership as SPORTbible are a fantastic fit for both our events in Manchester this September. Their hugely popular social channels will deliver our Football festival content to a vast, highly engaged youth audience and, at the Convention, Paul’s insight into the rise of social video in sport and SPORTbible’s future content plans will be of real interest to the business delegates in attendance.”
Rayner will be part of an extensive and thought provoking conference programme at the Global Convention, designed to deliver unique business insight across a variety of football’s key sectors. The programme will feature experts tackling subjects ranging from stadia design, sponsorship, and international investment, to the latest in wearable technology and the rise of influencer marketing.
