Ever wanted to see a World Cup match from every angle? How about a full-pitch tactical view? Or even see the match through the eyes of a player?

Well, now you can with the brand-new Fifa World Cup 3D Experience.

This is a UK-first that is only available on BBC Sport, starting with Friday’s game between Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina at 20:00 BST.

The interactive game experience gives viewers more choice to explore the match both in real-time, highlights and full-match replays.

How can I get it?

Head to bbc.co.uk/3dWorldCup to get started.

The Fifa World Cup 3D Experience is available for games that are on BBC TV. For a full list of those matches, visit the match hub.

Throughout the tournament, we’ll also make it easy to find the experience on our website and app, in live match pages and our sport, football and World Cup indexes.

Which views does it have?

You’ll have full control to see all the angles as the perfect second-screen option that offers deeper insight. These include:

  • Broadcast view where you control the camera angle.

  • Tactical view with a bird’s-eye view of the full pitch.

  • Third-person view to follow your favourite player on the pitch.

  • First-person view to see the match through a player’s eyes.

That’s all in real-time as the match happens but you can also rewind key moments, switch cameras and see stats.

After the match you’ll have a highlights mode to see all the goals, shots and penalties as well as a full-match replay.

It’s your match, your way.

How does it work?

This Beta 3D experience is all powered by live official Fifa data and technology from XR company Immersiv.io.

The skeletal data is used to recreate the match as it happens – similar to how semi-automated offside technology works.

The Fifa World Cup 3D Experience is only available to users in the UK.
