The other will focus on engagement and will entail focus on real-time social engagement and content generation during key matches. The concept is leveraging off the second screen experience whereby the use of action imagery, tailored to the live event, will be used to create fan engagement and content shareability.

Also, keep an eye out for behind-the-scenes pictures and videos from SuperSport’s world-class panel of experts, including Giggs, Premier League host John Dykes and former star John Barnes.
