FIFA & THE TECH SIDE OF THE 2022 WORLD CUP IN QATAR
What about the metaverse?
"This debated." we could write today more than ever, after Meta's collapse in the stock market (in 9 months the metaverse has burned about 9.4 billion), which has made us tremble and doubt the soundness of Zuckerberg's vision and the entire Big Tech world with the only exception at the moment of Apple.
It is still premature to give a definitive verdict, but Fifa has nonetheless taken the field in the metaverse, even if it would be more appropriate to speak of gamification or at any rate of a major investment in the Roblox platform, with the aim of bringing even the youngest generations closer to the historic tournament.
On the occasion of the 2022 edition in Qatar, Fifa World is born, a space in the metaverse dedicated to fans from all over the world developed on the Roblox platform.
And if this World Cup will go down in history because it will be played in the winter, and not in the summer as usual, it will also be because of technologies like this latest one:
Fifa World is "a virtual environment that celebrates the power of soccer and the unparalleled history of its most popular competitions,"
and access will be free.
All users will be able to frequent social spaces, earn rewards and collect exclusive virtual items through games of skill, even away from the Qatar playing fields.
