DAZN and Mediapro Belgium have revealed details of their work to deliver coverage of the 2026 Croky Cup Final.
Deploying what the companies said were “unprecedented technical resources” in support of Belgian football’s largest ever TV production, a total of 27 cameras and three DAZN OB trucks enabled a “highly immersive and spectacular broadcast experience.” The camera fleet included two Super Slow Motion cameras, seven wireless cameras, drone and selfiecam units.
Aiming to provide maximum operational flexibility, real-time content sharing and editorial consistency across feeds, DAZN dedicated its OB23 unit to the international feed, with OB86 and OB58 respectively producing the Flemish and French production feeds.
In a first for Belgium, a chest-mounted stabilised referee camera developed by Mediapro Group subsidiary Omni4Sky was used during the game. The solution included an RCP system enabling live shading control and management of other critical parameters.
Graphics were provided by WTvision, another Mediapro Group member, including augmented reality statistics as well as advanced graphical match analysis tools.
Marc Caeymaex, MD of Mediapro Belgium, commented, “We are delighted to continue collaborating with DAZN on ambitious projects that help elevate Belgian football. This exceptional production demonstrates both the talent of our teams and the quality of the technical resources deployed to meet the highest international standards.”
“This Croky Cup Final perfectly illustrates the excellent collaboration between DAZN Belgium and Mediapro over the past ten years. The quality, professionalism and experience of the teams, combined with the technical resources deployed, enabled us to offer supporters a world-class broadcast experience. DAZN aims to provide fans with new highly immersive viewing experiences. Mediapro, with its innovative and disruptive mindset, helps us achieve this ambition,” said Jan Mosselmans, COO of DAZN Belgium.
