Hrvatski Telekom presents 'Virtual Stadium' - a digital platform where the longest fan song in the world will be recorded
Hrvatski Telekom, a long-term partner of the Croatian national football team, presented today the 'Virtual Stadium', a unique digital platform that allows all fans in Croatia and our national team to experience a real and passionate football atmosphere during this year's European Football Championship, despite restrictions.
The most ardent fans will win a place at the virtual stadium by participating in a unique fan feat - creating the longest fan song in the world. Everyone filmed at the virtual stadium singing the refrain of the Croatian national football team's unofficial fan anthem "Play, my Croatia", by the popular Zaprešić Boys, will get their virtual seat and thus go down in history.
"Hrvatski Telekom has completely focused its biggest campaign this year on the realization of a unique fan feat in the world. We want to show everyone all the ways technology can inspire us and allow us to enjoy the things that make us happy. The virtual stadium will make it possible for fans to express emotion, pride, and support our national team, creating a great fan atmosphere that is important for a top result", said Nataša Rapaić, Member of the Management Board of Hrvatski Telekom and Chief Operating Officer Residential.
The virtual stadium will collect the largest number of videos ever taken as part of a corporate campaign in Croatia. The entire country will once again show the football enthusiasm for which it is world-renowned.
"The idea of the Virtual Stadium is excellent and something completely new. I am positive that all players will like it, especially when they see all these people, and maybe even their friends and relatives," added Vedran Ćorluka, coach of the Croatian national football A team.
Everyone who shoots a video singing the refrain of the song "Play, my Croatia" will participate in the historic fan feat and win many valuable prizes provided by Hrvatski Telekom for this particular occasion. The process of recording through the 'Virtual Stadium' is simple. Each fan will choose whether to sing a karaoke refrain in the video, accompanied by music, or show their fan talent with a lip sync video option and singing by Zaprešić Boys. Maja Šuput and the Zaprešić Boys showed how to record a video and support our national team at the presentation of the virtual stadium.
