The MENA SVOD service Starzplay has launched Starzplay Fantasy Sports, the first free-to-play Web 3.0 fantasy sports game in the region.
It made its debut ahead of the new 2023.24 Serie A season and is exclusively available on Starzplay Sports.
Players can make predictions around live Serie A matches and other regional leagues, from forecasting scores and possession percentages to identifying the first goal scorer via in-game arenas, in order to win prizes.
Commenting on the launch, Alessandro Masaro, chief strategy officer at Starzplay said “Starzplay’s success in MENA has been underpinned by a never-ending pursuit of innovation. Starzplay Fantasy Sports is the first-of-its-kind blockchain service in the region which will give customers a new dimension to engage with sports while competing to win incredible prizes. Our goal is to make Starzplay a hub for sports entertainment and provide users and rights’ holders with more opportunities to interact and build stronger and more valuable relationships. We believe this is the first step of a larger plan which will see Starzplay Fantasy Sports expand into other leagues and sports in the near future”.
Starzplay and Starzplay Fantasy Sports are available in 19 countries across the Middle East and North?Africa.
