Volleyball World has announced a groundbreaking new partnership with Dizplai, a leading media experience company. Dizplai has been appointed to transform the fan viewing experience for Volleyball World’s flagship events, the Beach Pro Tour (BPT) and Volleyball Nations League (VNL). The collaboration will introduce a range of innovative engagement tools designed to bring audiences closer to the action than ever before.
Through the partnership, Dizplai will facilitate a more immersive viewing experience for fans worldwide. Custom broadcast graphics will be provided, alongside live data and social media integration, sponsor branding opportunities, fan participation mechanics and specialised “watch along” formats for the BPT and VNL - all with distinct visual identities tailored for each competition.
Finn Taylor, CEO of Volleyball World, highlighted the importance of enhancing fan engagement across both live and digital environments:
“Our fans are the heart of the sport, whether they’re cheering in the stands or tuning in from home. Online viewing is growing rapidly, and we want to be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to how our audiences experience volleyball. This partnership with Dizplai will allow us to create more interactive and dynamic broadcasts, ensuring fans, no matter where they are, feel closer to the sport than ever before.”
Emma Murphy, Dizplai’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed her excitement about the collaboration:
“This partnership with Volleyball World represents exactly what Dizplai was built to do - give brands and rights holders greater flexibility with their content, allowing them to have their product work harder for them. We’re excited to bring our expertise in interactive graphics and audience strategy to such a dynamic, global sport and help Volleyball World achieve its ambitious growth objectives.”
The innovative broadcasts aim to increase viewership, dwell time and fan engagement, creating new sponsorship opportunities and driving subscriptions to Volleyball World’s digital platforms. Additionally, the integration of fan interaction tools will provide valuable first-party data, enhancing Volleyball World’s ability to authentically connect with its global audience.
