Manchester United and Qualcomm are now official partners! The football club and chip manufacturing company announced this partnership via their official websites. But, do Manchester United fans need to be excited about this partnership?
The answer is a resounding yes! Like other partnerships, this one will bring some benefits to the club’s fans. Qualcomm promises that this “strategic collaboration will create unique events and experiences for Manchester United fans at Old Trafford and around the world.” Also, Qualcomm plans to improve the mobile connectivity at Old Trafford.
This improved connectivity Qualcomm speaks of will contribute to the experience of games played at Old Trafford. With Qualcomm trying to expand its reach in the chip industry, its technology will be able to bring VR match viewing.
This will give fans an immersive feel of the game from the comfort of their home. The partnership will also bring the club an inch closer to modern technology.
This is not the first time a big tech brand will partner with a football club or body. OPPO and Spotify are already in a strategic partnership with Barcelona, TECNO is in a partnership with Manchester City and so much more. Bringing these tech brands into the sporting arena will help fans get more acquainted with the tech industry. This in turn will drive wide adoption of technology across the globe.
