The FIFA World Cup 2023 is the opportunity to create a legacy that lasts a lifetime.
Beyond the glory of lifting the trophy, athletes are capitalizing on a unique opportunity - every goal scored is a chance to "go viral" and catapult their careers to new heights. With global attention and record-breaking viewership, the tournament has become a massive stage for players to showcase their talents and gain immense popularity.
Sophia Smith of the USWNT serves as a prime example of how goals can translate into instant fame and audience growth.
Her 2 goals in the USWNT opening match against Vietnam gave her a nearly 30% increase in her total audience in just one day! It takes substantial time, creativity, and energy to generate this type of boost in influence by other means, and partners who've invested in Sophia and the yet to be determined stars of the World Cup 2023 will reap substantial benefits from these viral moments.
