Greek Champions Olympiacos FC, Stoiximan Unveil New Virtual Reality Fan Experience

Olympiacos FC, the current Greek Superleague soccer champion, have teamed up with its shirt sponsor Stoiximan to unveil a new virtual reality experience which will soon be available to the team’s supporters.

Called the “Legendary Virtual Experience,” it was recently launched by the team’s players at an event at the team’s Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. The five team players used to promote the experience, which was captured in a video from Stoiximan, were Alejandro Damián Domínguez, Karim Ansarifard, Thanasis Androutsos and Marko Marin.

The VR experience is delivered in red and white colors to mirror the club’s iconic colors. It sees users navigate a wide variety of content, such as Olympiacos’ history. This is then followed by enabling users to select a team, based on the current squad, and then taking to the field and trying to score goals, all in VR. For Stoiximan, a digital sports gambling service, it builds upon their recent advertising campaign, “I’m My Team.”

Olympiacos clinched a record 44th Greek league title last month, which is their 19th in the last 21 seasons.
