Smartphones become supporters’ second screen
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Corbeaunews Centrafrique
Smartphones now complement the viewing of sports competitions, enabling spectators to check statistics, actions, reactions and scores during matches. This shift concerns football, basketball and streaming in particular, according to Corbeau News Centrafri.
An international study conducted by IBM among more than 20,000 sports fans in 2025 indicates that 29% of respondents use several devices to follow a sporting event. Smartphones are used in particular to check statistics, watch replays, read reactions or follow another score.
Phones thus accompany television viewing of a match without necessarily replacing the big screen, adding real-time information and content to the spectator’s experience.
