SBS launches We All Speak Football campaign ahead of FIFA World Cup

The cross platform campaign will appear across TV, radio and online ahead of the tournament’s June 14 launch which will see the broadcaster offering FTA, online and multilingual coverage, as well as a Federal government sponsored fitness campaign.

The campaign will be encouraging downloads of the official app which will be available for iOS and Android from June 11 while during the tournament, it will promote the nightly SBS telecasts.
Along with the TV coverage, SBS will also update audiences throughout the tournament via an early morning special edition of The World Game podcast every match day produced by SBS Radio with analysis and opinion by Craig Foster and Lucy Zelic, newsletters, a nightly Twitter live show.
SBS will also be running in-language World Cup radio broadcasts with languages including Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese.
In partnership with the Federal government, SBS Learn has created an in-depth education resource called The Harmony Game, linking the World Cup to subjects including English, geography, health and physical education that will be available online as well as mailed to over 12,000 teachers.
The We All Speak Football campaign will run until the end of the tournament on July 16.
