PSV – AZ can be experienced in virtual reality for the first time in the Netherlands

It is a unique, innovative way to experience the top match in the Eredivisie live. From the comfort of your armchair, but with the same experience as in the stadium. In collaboration with Go!Gaming Utrecht Leidsche Rijn, ESPN and KPN make this possible by connecting a special, unique camera position from the Philips stadium with special VR glasses.

Mark Versteegen, Sponsoring Director at KPN: “KPN will continue to invest heavily in the digitalization of the Netherlands in the coming years. We continue to improve the Dutch digital infrastructure. In addition to the rollout of fiber optic and investments in new 5G applications, cloud and AI. KPN develops ‘the best digital offering’ especially for customers by collaborating with leading partners in the field of entertainment, gaming and security. From our main sponsorship of the Eredivisie and our relationship with ESPN, we bring Dutch football closer to our customers in an innovative and digital way.”

Matthijs van Elk, Director Digital of ESPN: “ESPN is there for the fans always and everywhere. The best experience is of course in the stadium, but outside of that ESPN is the best alternative in various ways to experience football live. On the television in your living room, online on your second screen or on the go on your smartphone. With this special match in VR, we are the first in the Netherlands to go one step further: the real stadium experience from the comfort of your home. We are very curious about the reactions.”
