London, UK – 28th October 2025: Dizplai, the strategic growth partner redefining the value of attention, has expanded its partnership with the Global Fan Network (GFN), a leading community-driven sports content network reaching hundreds of millions of fans worldwide each year. The renewed partnership reinforces Dizplai’s growing influence within the creator economy, empowering GFN to deliver richer fan experiences and enhanced commercial outcomes.
The collaboration aims to build on previous success stories, including a campaign that generated over 350,000 fully KYC-verified fan sign-ups with an undisclosed brand partner. By combining strategy, creativity, and technology, the partnership continues to deliver interactive, data-led content experiences that connect fans, creators, and brands in real time.
Initially launched through Arsenal Fan TV (AFTV), the partnership saw Dizplai integrate bespoke HTML graphics into live productions, showcasing real-time match data, social comments, and superchats to give fans richer context and a direct voice within the stream. This participatory model turned traditional match coverage into a two-way conversation, enhancing engagement and community interaction.
Brett Lotriet Best, CEO of GFN, commented: “Since beginning our partnership with Dizplai, we have significantly developed GFN’s live offering. Starting with the floating graphics on AFTV, we quickly realised the potential of integrating an L-bar as we were given the opportunity to stream live from Box Park for the Champions League, bringing brand partners into the heart of the production without compromising on content quality.”
Most recently, Dizplai supported GFN’s DR Sports channel in integrating William Hill’s ‘Final One Standing’ free-to-play game, enabling fans to interact with branded activations via second screens. This approach delivered meaningful brand engagement while keeping the core content experience uninterrupted, creating new revenue opportunities throughout GFN’s ecosystem.
Ed Abis, CEO of Dizplai, added: “We’re thrilled to extend our relationship with the Global Fan Network, as we continue to empower one of YouTube’s leading football communities to put their community at the heart of the content they love. We look forward to continuing to enhance GFN’s live productions, working together to create quality content while offering brands the tools to harness the power of fan communities and build deeper connections.”
