Great news for Serie A. Tomorrow evening in the great Juventus-Napoli, Dazn and the Juventus club, in collaboration with Lega Serie A, are ready to experiment with an absolute innovation for the highest Italian championship: the use of the body camera in Serie A before the game at one of Allegri’s players. The bodycam allows you to capture the warm-up moments, which are broadcast exclusively on the live streaming platform. A first step that opens the doors to the future of sports entertainment and strengthens the strategic collaboration between Dazn, Serie A and the clubs to bring innovation and spectacle to the pitch.

AZZI AND DE SIERVO IN CONVERSATION

The use of the bodycam, which was tested during Napoli’s training sessions last season and has already made its debut in the Premier League in recent weeks, marks the beginning of an experiment that, by combining technology and entertainment, will make the fan even more so to the protagonist by “dragging” him onto the playing field and giving him access to the action from an exclusive perspective, that of the player himself. The general testing was carried out on Continassa over the last few days, with Iling Jr wearing it during part of the session. Stefano Azzi, CEO of Dazn Italia, explained the innovation that athletes will encounter: “After the first experiment we did in training last season, we are very proud of this debut that takes Serie A into the future of the Entertainment is projected.” As the spectacularization of sporting events becomes more and more central, the development of features and the increasingly engaging interaction with the content through the use of innovative technologies such as the body camera become fundamental drivers for the granting of privileged and unpublished access to fans . The future of football depends on the commitment of fans. “Today’s move is a first step towards taking Italian football into the future of entertainment.” The CEO agrees. Luigi De Siervo, head of the league: “After becoming the first league in the world to introduce VAR, goal-line technology and semi-automatic offside positioning (SAOT) and broadcast a game in the metaverse using a football player’s bodycam before a Serie A game Let’s project ourselves into a new dimension of vision and confirm once again that we are one of the pioneering leagues in the world when it comes to research and innovation. Thanks to the collaboration between Juventus and Dazn, for the first time in the history of Italian football, the pre-match will be told from a “subjective” perspective, offering fans unique and exceptional images. Nowadays, the game no longer consists of a simple shot of the pitch: it is important to be able to describe the event, highlighting the spectacular and emotional aspects, as we already do with cinema cameras and 360-degree shots. Our goal is precisely to promote an interactive and captivating vision of events and to involve the subscriber ever more deeply.”

The pre-match emotions, made even more intense by the special recordings with the innovative body camera, do not end with the end of Juventus-Napoli, but continue on demand in the Dazn app thanks to a special edition of the BordoCam produced in the original.
