Paris, April 10: The sports industry is on the brink of a technological revolution, and the newly launched “Sport 3.0 Observatory” is at the forefront of capturing these changes.
This comprehensive report, a collaborative effort between Doors3 and SPORSORA, was unveiled at a launch event hosted at Team Vitality’s headquarters, marking a significant milestone for digital innovation in sports across Europe.
The observatory provides invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of sports consumption, particularly focusing on Generations Z and Alpha. It highlights how Web3, Gaming, the Metaverse, and Artificial Intelligence are reshaping fan engagement and opening new avenues for business opportunities in sports.
According to the study, a staggering 56 per cent of sports fans believe that virtual worlds can replicate the emotional highs of live sports events as if they were physically present.
Additionally, 33 per cent of fans own at least one virtual identity, and half are already familiar with cryptocurrencies, signaling a shift towards more interactive and immersive fan experiences.

By addressing fan engagement and loyalty challenges, as well as diversifying revenue streams, these new technologies must be understood and utilized more broadly by our industry professionals.”
