Portuguese start-up FootAR is enhancing the Euro 2024 experience with AR tracking and smart data
With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.
FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.
FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.
FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.
Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.
“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.
Key Features:
Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.
Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..
Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.
With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.
Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.

Stake, the world’s leading online casino and sportsbook, has today announced the launch of its latest Stake Originals title, Moles, a high-intensity arcade-style game designed to deliver fast decisions, escalating tension, and huge multiplier potential.
Stake has released Moles, a new addition to its gaming portfolio that adapts traditional carnival mechanics for a digital environment. The gameplay requires players to strike targets to accumulate multipliers, offering a choice between immediate cash-outs or continuing for higher potential rewards.
At its core, the game is built around a dynamic risk-reward system. Players choose how many moles appear on the board — from one to six — directly influencing both difficulty and potential payout. Fewer moles offer a higher risk and the chance of extreme multipliers, while more moles provide a steadier, lower-risk path.
The game operates on a rapid-fire sequence where each successful hit increments a player’s multiplier. Under the game’s mechanics, a single missed target results in the immediate conclusion of the round and the forfeiture of accumulated rewards.
Moles features a maximum win multiplier of 5,649,504.98x. This represents one of the highest potential payout ratios currently available within the Stake Originals portfolio.
Designed for speed, simplicity, and replayability, the game captures the essence of classic fairground entertainment while elevating it with modern mechanics, provably fair technology, and a smooth, responsive interface.
Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin, said: “Moles is a perfect example of what Stake Originals is all about — taking a familiar concept and turning it into something fast, engaging, and highly rewarding for our players.We wanted to create a game that’s instantly recognisable but delivers that signature Stake intensity where every decision matters and every round builds that thrilling tension.With its massive win potential and simple yet strategic gameplay, we’re confident Moles will quickly become a fan favourite across our global community.”
The launch of Moles continues Stake’s momentum in expanding its Originals suite — a category that has become central to the platform’s identity, known for delivering innovative, in-house games that prioritise player control, transparency, and high engagement.
Built with a provably fair system and a 98% RTP, the game ensures both transparency and competitive returns, reinforcing Stake’s commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences.
Moles will be available globally on Stake from March 24, 2026, alongside a refreshed lineup of Stake Originals releases as the brand continues to push the boundaries of online casino entertainment.
