Sports fans rejoice! WTF Media is aiming to become Southeast Asia’s largest integrated content and social platform for all things sport. The sports only social media network and multipurpose platform will allow users to consume and create content and connect with peers through forums, polls, pages and message groups.
WTF Media is drawing on the experience of WTF Sports, one of Asia’s largest and fastest-growing fantasy sports gaming platforms. Launched in 2020, WTF Sports is fast becoming a magnet for fantasy sports fans around the world with its engaging sports, multiple playing modes and exciting content. Users of the WFT Sports application can apply their knowledge and skills to create teams of real-life players from upcoming matches, score points based on their on-field performance and compete with other fans. The app already has millions of users and is continuing to grow.
Addressing a need for an integrated platform for all things sport, WTF Media is a sports only social media network and multipurpose platform where users can create and consume content while engaging with users from around the world. A social media platform as well as a content channel and a place to purchase merchandise, WTF Media gathers all the functions of traditional social media, entertainment and retail into one.
With the sports tech landscape in Southeast Asia becoming more crowded by the day, WTF Media aims to become the leading player in media data and analytics entertainment social media in the next few years.
Users of the platform will be able to read and watch sports news, record videos and create their own content, write blogs and make their own sports news channels and shows, engage with other users, and purchase sports products. The platform will also host and organise a packed schedule of sports events, including the WTF Muay Thai Fight Series Thailand, a four-weekend fight series broadcast directly from Bangkok’s famous Rajadamnoen Stadium this year, and WTF Legends Cricket Match Thailand, organised in association with the Royal Thai Government and the Gracia Raina Foundation to name just two.
WTF Sports will eventually merge with WTF Media, growing the fantasy sports gaming branch of the main app. One of the fastest growing online gaming segments, fantasy sports is part of e-sports, a multi-billion dollar industry that is expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. Furthermore, WTF Media will tap into Southeast Asia’s highly digitally engaged population where more than 400 million people are social media users, the vast majority of them through mobile devices.
WTF Media and WTF Sports are founded by a handful of professionals with extensive experience from some of the most prominent local and international businesses in Thailand and beyond. With decades of combined experience in consulting, retail, media, manufacturing, management and sales, they are well positioned to bring WTF Media to the forefront of the sports landscape in Asia.
