TikTok has partnered with COPA90 as the lead content partner to bring fan-first football content to its communities, as it looks to cement its position as the home of fandom for football culture.
Football media company COPA90 is working with TikTok and a diverse selection of key talent and influencers from across Europe to produce a bold programme of innovative formats and original shows. These will showcase the inspirational power of international tournaments, the melting pot of cultures and the collective creativity of fans to deliver a month-long celebration of fandom, reminding the world just how joyous football really is.
To kick off the entertainment, ‘Get to Know’ has been launched, with fans from each of the 24 participating nations sharing everything you need to know along with some controversial predictions, while ‘Starting XI’ will encourage the audience to select a series of different starting teams following increasingly fun and challenging parameters.
