Aussie football fans don’t need to look any further than @SBS and Twitter to keep up with what’s happening at the 2018 @FIFAWorldCup, and we couldn’t think of a more perfect match to partner with than @SBS. Broadcasting on Twitter will bring the content and conversation into one place, giving football fans a connective and immersive sporting experience.

Managing Director, Twitter Australia

SBS has been broadcasting football for nearly four decades; it’s a sport that really connects Australia’s diverse communities. As one of the most multicultural countries, the 2018 @FIFAWorldCup is a great moment for us all to come together to cheer on the @Socceroos and other teams across the globe. We’re always looking for innovative ways to connect our audiences to a range of content on the devices and platforms they use most. Sport is something that people love to share and this partnership with Twitter enables all Australians to re-live and share in the excitement.
