Case Study: Wheelchair Football Association boosts inclusive live streaming and fan engagement with AWS Elemental

Wheelchair Football Association streams 54 matches with AWS

The Wheelchair Football Association (WFA) needed an innovative and cost-effective production workflow to livestream the 2023 Powerchair Football World Cup, aiming to boost audience engagement and manage broadcasts with a largely volunteer team. They turned to AWS, utilizing AWS Elemental MediaLive to transcode live feeds and AWS Amplify among other services to build interactive features.

Using AWS Elemental MediaLive and cloud-based graphics tools, the WFA built a flexible production pipeline that delivered custom data-driven graphics and interactive fan features like a public score predictor. This AWS-powered solution enabled a small team to stream 10 hours a day of high-quality coverage, drastically reducing the required budget and crew while actively involving players and fans in commentary and production, significantly growing the sport's awareness and community engagement.
