  • Creators and The Club World Cup

    Creators and The Club World Cup
    2025/07/10

    DAZN’s $1B play for the FIFA Club World Cup isn’t just about broadcast rights—it’s about creators. With 100 digital stars tapped into a combined audience of 32 million, DAZN is betting big on creator-led content to drive engagement. Think docuseries like Through Ball and Chasing the Trophy, a creator house in Miami, and a global push that spans the U.S. to Spain.

    But here’s the tension: are rights holders genuinely evolving, or just outsourcing their youth strategy to influencers? Is this the future of fandom, or a shortcut that risks missing the point?

    In this episode of The Attention Shift, we get into it—how creators are reshaping the game, why legacy sports media is struggling to talk to Gen Z, and what success (or failure) really looks like when the creator economy meets billion-dollar sport.
