Fans can look to the sky to catch the score for FIFA World Cup™ matches hosted in Seattle, thanks to a first-ever drone scoreboard. Created by Visit Seattle, this futuristic scoreboard aims to change the fan experience forever.
Spectators will see the scoreboard in the sky each night of Seattle’s six matches (beginning June 15). Each team’s score will be displayed with their country’s flag at the end of the match. The display will light up the Seattle skyline, appearing alongside the Space Needle, one of the city’s most famous landmarks.
Visit Seattle, the destination marketing organisation for Seattle, developed the drone scoreboard to showcase the city’s spirit of innovation, strong sports fandom and its iconic skyline.
The drone scoreboard will be live the night of each match. Seattle’s hosted matches include:
Mon, June 15: Belgium vs. Egypt
Fri, June 19: USA vs. Australia
Wed, June 24: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar
Fri, June 26: Egypt vs. IR Iran
Wed, July 1: Round of 32
Mon, July 6: Round of 16
Fri, June 19: USA vs. Australia
Wed, June 24: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar
Fri, June 26: Egypt vs. IR Iran
Wed, July 1: Round of 32
Mon, July 6: Round of 16
Show times are subject to change, but will generally start in the window of 10pm to 11.30pm PT.
Please let me know if you have any questions. We can connect you with someone from the Visit Seattle team for more on the inspiration for the scoreboard and what fans can expect.
We can also share more on Seattle’s broader World Cup fan experience. Seattle is among the most walkable of World Cup destinations, with the option to walk between the Seattle Stadium and fan zones from downtown hotels (so fans don’t have to travel far to catch an activation like this). The city also offers unparalleled access to nature and is home to a strong soccer fandom, with the region boasting some of the highest rates of soccer participation in the United States.
