BIG Digital Powers Next-Gen FIFA Fan Engagement in Atlanta Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026™

BIG Digital powers next-gen FIFA fan engagement with a premium sponsor-led activation in Atlanta, showcasing scalable fan zone experiences ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026™.

As the world gears up for FIFA World Cup 2026™, BIG Digital has already begun powering premium, real-world fan engagement experiences across North America. Our latest activation took place in Atlanta, during the official FIFA 2026 Final Draw public viewing party, where fans gathered to celebrate, connect, and experience next-gen engagement firsthand.

A High-Energy FIFA Fan Moment in Atlanta

Working alongside our agency partners at Bespoke Sports & Entertainment, BIG Digital helped the Atlanta World Cup Host Committee (AWCHC) bring the NAPA Fan Tent to life with a fully branded, interactive Soccer Penalty Shot activation powered by our Interactive Fan Engagement Portable Kiosks.

Designed for High-Traffic Fan Zones

The NAPA Fan Tent became a centerpiece of the viewing party, drawing in crowds eager to participate. With ambassadors on-site, giveaways flowing, and a premium sponsor environment, fans were invited to step up to the kiosk, swipe to take their shot, and go head-to-head with the goalie in real time.

The experience delivered:

  • Instant gameplay with zero friction
  • Design built for high-traffic fan zones and festival environments
  • Participation metrics and insights captured live

This activation demonstrated not only the power of interactive engagement but also the impact of seamlessly integrating sponsor branding into gameplay without overshadowing the fan experience.
