“FANUP” combines the strengths of WOWOW, which broadcasts and distributes the “UEFA Champions League,” which determines the number one club in Europe, and the next European club soccer tournament, “UEFA Europa League,” and the co-playing format of bicycle racing, auto racing, etc. This is a sports SNS that combines the know-how in social services of MIXI, which operates the sports betting service “TIPSTAR”, the SNS “mixi”, and the smartphone app “Monster Strike”, a high-stakes hunting RPG.
“FANUP” uses free chips to predict the outcome of each match and how it will unfold, as well as rankings that list the accuracy rate for each user. We will create a place where sports fans can have deep and passionate conversations with each other, such as a bulletin board where you can communicate in real time.
In addition, a campaign will be held in which the period from the service release in February until the UEFA Champions League final in June will be divided into three rounds, and users who rank high in the prediction battle will win prizes such as a “European soccer trip”. .
