🎉 Reflecting on a Year of Innovation and Looking Forward to IBC - International Broadcasting Convention 2024! 🎉 A year ago, Sport BUFF proudly took home the prestigious IBC Content Everywhere Award for revolutionising the way viewers engaged with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and Eurovision Song Contest 2023. This recognition was not just an achievement but a testament to our commitment to transforming fan engagement in real time. True innovation is doing something that no one else is doing. Where we lead other tend to follow. 🚀 As we gear up for another exciting IBC conference, we are more motivated than ever to continue leading the charge in innovative fan engagement. While many in our industry settle for the ordinary, at Sport Buff, we’re pushing boundaries, creating experiences that truly connect audiences with the content they love. And the journey has just begun. We’ve learned so much, and now we’re ready to take things even further—across all content, for all audiences. We’re incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made, but we’re not stopping here. This year, we aim to be at the top of everyone’s agenda once again, showcasing how we’re redefining fan engagement as an immersive, impactful experience that goes far beyond just clicking boxes. A huge shoutout to some of our key partners —BCE, VRT, KAN, RTL, TrillerTV, All Elite Wrestling, UEFA, FIFA, HBS and many more with plenty set to join the family over the next 12 months.  Here’s to another year of imagination, collaboration, and innovation! Let’s make IBC 2024 unforgettable! 💪 Please get in touch if you want to meet.

Major UK sports bodies have invested a record £173.4 million worth of broadcast revenues into grassroots and the growth of sports in the past year. The funding forms part of the Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Broadcasting of Major Sporting Events, which is administered by the Sport and Recreation Alliance. It requires the UK's major sporting bodies to put a minimum 30% of net broadcasting revenues back into their respective #sports and to make their events available to free-to-air broadcasters so they can be viewed by as many people as possible. Examples of funding commitments from the past year include two grants totalling £1.7m allocated by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), enabling the building of a covered outdoor cricket facility at Bradford Park Avenue. The facility will deliver cricket sessions for 10,000 local people year-round and is leading the charge in the growth of women’s and girls’ #cricket.
