LOSC: The challenges 

The sanitary crisis has affected the world of football, just like most industries in the past year, and it has not been spared from its repercussions.

The closure of stadiums and halting of international championships has made it all the more difficult for clubs to maintain their relationship with fans. And sponsors have struggled in the same way, as they have lost a fair share of their visibility.

Undoubtedly, Football clubs have had to adapt and be creative, reinforcing their online and social media presence. From contests to quizzes and email campaigns, there is a wide range of digital initiatives for clubs to choose from.

One of the most effective ways for sports clubs to engage with fans and improve their digital marketing strategy is through gamification. By incorporating games like elements such as challenges, points, and rewards, sports clubs can create a more interactive and engaging experience for their fans.
