      Snap selects four regional developers to create AR lenses for football fans

      MENA Augmented Reality developers invite Snapchatters to celebrate the football season through immersive lenses.

      Snap Inc. has selected and commissioned four regional Augmented Reality (AR) developers – Mohamad El Asmar from Oman, Maha Aldosary and friends Ibrahim Boona and Fahad Mutlaq from Saudi Arabia to create AR lenses for football fans, for an immersive experience during the FIFA World Cup 2022.

      Through this collaboration, the four AR developers will have the opportunity to showcase their technical and creative potential to football fans from across the world.

      By utilising Snap’s AR technology, creators are able to engage users through immersive AR experiences that transform how people experience the world around them. Over 250m Snapchatters use AR every day and play with AR lenses more than 6bn times daily.

      Offering a new dimension for fan engagement, Snapchat is bringing together a range of AR experiences and video content to an audience that is passionate about football, the players or the teams, whether it’s through AR Lenses, Maps, the Camera, Stories or Spotlight.

      Through his three lenses, Mohamad captures fans’ anticipation in the build-up to the games, encourages supporters to join the action through predictions, and keeps the spirit of the games long after the tournament by creating and sharing football memories. Maha’s lenses capture the competitive nature of sports, celebrating the diverse cultures of participating countries and highlighting the colourful national kits. Meanwhile, friends Ibrahim and Fahad are inspired by the excitement of the games, with their lens depicting the fun atmosphere in stadiums.

      Other Snapchatters can also express their enthusiasm for the game by creating their own memories.

      Speaking about the initiative, Jake Thomas, Head of UAE Market at Snap Inc., said: “This is a special celebration for football fans in the region. Snapchat is a platform that brings sports fans together to celebrate and share authentic moments. We are offering the opportunity for the region’s creative community to share their passion and showcase their talent to a global audience. We are also encouraging millions of Snapchatters in the region to create their own football memories that will stay with them long after the tournament is over.”

      A highly engaged Gen Z community talks about and watches sports and football on Snapchat every day: Over 340m people use Snapchat daily, engaging with a range of content and creative, immersive AR experiences that bring football fans closer to the action. Research shows 83% of football fans use their phone while watching TV, with fans messaging their friends and engaging with content throughout the game.
