La Liga, one of the most admired football leagues in the world, announced on Monday the bringing of another unique fan engagement initiative, which will be about keeping technology and innovation at the forefront.

Recently, La Liga launched the ‘LaLigaQRChallenge’, which aims to overcome the void created by geographic boundaries and unfortunate challenges of the pandemic and provide fans an immersive experience by using QR scanning system/technology.

The tech-savvy engagement activity is planned at various physical and digital touch points. The QR Codes will be integrated alternately through different partnerships and initiatives executed by LaLiga in MENA for its fans and will span throughout the 2020-21 season.

Fans need to scan the QR code to register and enter a draw to win a grand prize of an all-inclusive trip for two to Spain with 2 tickets to watch their favorite football stars in action. Other prizes up for grabs would be official LaLiga jersey, merchandise and much more.
