Impact of the Metaverse on Sports - Thematic Intelligence

The metaverse has the potential to be an important technology in the sports industry. Whilst a tried and tested use case has not yet been adopted, there is potential across the industry, to help solve the challenges of fan engagement, media competition, and player safety.
