Low Cost, High Quality: How Europeada Livestreams Their Tournament with Focus Flex

The Europeada tournament is a football championship comprised of teams representing autochthonous national minorities from across Europe. Their aim is to connect ethnic and linguistic minorities, shine a light on their existence and the challenges they face, and promote the footballing talent they possess.

Given that many supporters are unable to make the long trip to cheer on their representatives, livestreaming is paramount to the success of Europeada. It not only provides a bigger stage for the minority teams but also ensures their communities can experience the tournament, regardless of where they are based. 

The answer? Focus Flex - Hudl’s portable camera solution that captures automatically in 1080p and guarantees that friends, families and recruiters never miss a moment with its livestream capabilities.

Focus Flex’s simple setup and ease of use are also important for Europeada as they rely on the help of many volunteers, most of whom are not professionally trained. The automated recording of the games means that organizers don’t have to be checking numerous feeds and can be more efficient with their deployment of staff, ensuring Europeada provides an elite experience for participants and viewers in a cost-effective manner.

Teams and players also benefit from the footage captured by Focus Flex, as they can quickly access the match film after the game and analyze their performance or prepare for the next opposition - a luxury not often available for tournaments of this size.

Watch the video above to discover how Focus Flex helps Europeada overcome the challenges of filming games at multiple locations with limited resources, deliver high quality coverage to viewers across the world, and set themselves apart from other tournaments.
