PRG and SPORTFIVE to launch digital talk format ‚FIVEFIFTYFIVE‘

The first episode on July 14th 2021 at 4 PM (CET), produced at the PRG virtual production studio-xR in Hamburg, will focus on the most important voice there is in football: The fans. Based on key findings from the European Football Benchmark 2021, conducted in a joint effort by SPORTFIVE and Statista, FIVEFIFTYFIVE will provide a diverse look into the football fan’s mind in regard to several commercial aspects of the sport business and shed light on the fans’ current perception of the ‘beautiful game’. Guided by host Lisa Ramuschkat, the panel guests will e.g. discuss a potential facelift for European football clubs on social media, the current origins of fandom, influential developments around Esports or the fans‘ desire for progressiveness from the clubs’ side and much more.
