How FIFA Fan Festival™ Dallas Turned Fans Into Part of the Experience
Unilumin had a display technology and visual solutions World Cup project mission, to provide immersive fan experiences at FIFA Fan Festival™ Dallas, in collaboration with AMS Events. The innovative partners designed, developed and deployed two immersive, large-scale LED installations creating unique fan experiences for fan festival visitors in Texas. Football fans engage with the giant interactive LED sphere and Main Stage display through near real-time engagement watching the sports tech magic happen. Participants scan a QR code then upload a photo to generate lifetime memory views of themselves while appearing almost instantaneously on a custom 5-meter Interactive LED Sphere located at Fair Park. The LED Sphere and Main Stage LED display at Dos Equis Pavilion combined for a total deployment of more than 8.5 million pixels of LED technology. The LED Sphere installation features 3.7 million pixels and a 360-degree interactive experience designed to encourage participation, social sharing, and memorable fan moments. The Sports Techie community blog followers and readers in Dallas have a tournament high of 9 matches spread over a little over the next month to enjoy the world’s top tournament at the official fan fest of Dallas.
“From the Interactive LED Sphere to the Main Stage display at Dos Equis Pavilion, this project demonstrates how LED technology can transform fan engagement through immersive storytelling and participation,” said Paul Johnston, Vice President of Global Strategic Markets, Unilumin USA. “By combining iconic visual experiences with real-time audience interaction, we’re helping create memorable moments that extend beyond the venue and amplify the energy of the world’s most celebrated sport.”

The interactive LED Sphere features large-scale LED technology combined with fan participation creating an immersive experience enabling guests to become part of the display itself. It is designed to resemble a giant illuminated soccer ball while acting as a centerpiece attraction. Look for one-of-a-kind engaging and a shareable experience that captures the excitement, energy, and global community generated by the world’s most popular sport.
The Fair Park interactive LED Sphere is also positioned to engage fans from around the world in an environment designed to accommodate up to 35,000 visitors at a time, creating a highly visible and shareable destination within one of the tournament’s premier fan celebrations.
The sphere boasts 3.9mm of outdoor LED technology, weighing approximately 13,000 pounds, while containing approximately 3.7 million pixels. Construction, integration, testing, and commissioning required seven days to complete prior to opening.

To compliment the interactive LED Sphere, Unilumin also supplied the LED display for the festival’s Main Stage at Dos Equis Pavilion also at Fair Park. With metrics measuring 46 feet by 26 feet, the URMIII 3.9mm outdoor LED wall delivers a resolution of 2912 × 1664 and more than 4.8 million pixels. The large scope and brilliant technology provide a stunning visual backdrop for live programming and fan experiences throughout the event.

Sports Techie, AMS Events and Unilumin brought the concept to life, combining creative event design, audience engagement strategy, and advanced LED technology to deliver signature attractions for festival visitors.
