DFL Innovation Newsletter #4/2021
|
Hello Reader,
|
even football commentators have been working from their home offices lately, covering Bundesliga fixtures professionally live from their homes – thanks to our Remote Commentary concept! It was co-developed by DFL subsidiary Sportcast, which has been producing all Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 matches for the past 15 years, always placing great emphasis on innovation. We congratulate Sportcast on their anniversary, as well as RB Leipzig's 18-year-old Umut Gültekin on his great success in the bevestor Virtual Bundesliga. Having completed a season without a single defeat, he has crowned himself German eFootball Champion!
Enjoy reading!
