 Football is the most popular sport in the world and the World Cup awakens this passion even more, generating great opportunities for brands. And the report organized by Zygon, adtech specializing in digital marketing, points out that 68% of the connected world population is a football fan - a growth of 12% between the years 2013 and 2021, according to research by Kantar Ibope Media.

 The same survey also reveals that 44% of football fans are women. 

The report also brings a survey, where it points out that the World Cup should benefit the sector. And, together with the growth of e-commerce, sales could reach R$ 165 billion in sales by the end of this year.

Tracking behavior and consumption, the Pinion survey reveals that 61% plan to buy something and list items such as: alcoholic beverages, food delivery, custom clothing, participation in sweepstakes;, hiring streaming and speed boost of Internet.

  “The World Cup scenario is something unprecedented for the market and whoever, in addition to anticipating as endorsed by our specialists, talks to the right consumer, will come out on top. With all the data pointed out in this material, it is possible to build a plan that maximizes the efficiency of message delivery, guaranteeing, at the end of the day, the capture of an audience that now – more than ever – wants to buy”, says the Chief Operating Officer at Zygon Adtech, Jessica Miúcha.
