Gone are the days when a matchday experience was limited to just watching the game. Today, clubs and stadiums are embracing technology to elevate fan engagement and accessibility. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is at the heart of this transformation, offering seamless digital interactions that make matchdays more immersive and hassle-free.
What is NFC and Why Does it Matter?
NFC technology allows wireless data transfer between devices when they are in close proximity—think of contactless payments, smart tickets, and digital passes. This innovation is helping clubs improve stadium operations and enhance fan interactions.
