Hey soccer fans! If you were at the LA Galaxy versus New York Red Bulls game Sunday, you already know this, but for the rest of us: Microsoft and Major League Soccer (MLS) are partnering to bring fans exclusive app, fan and stadium experiences!
The improved MLS app for Windows 8 features this season’s schedule, standings, highlights, play-by-play, roster lineups, game stats, goals, cards and substitutions, as well as exclusive content – everything an MLS fan needs to feed his or her soccer addiction. And with Windows 8 Live Tiles, fans can customize their experiences to focus on news about their favorite club.
The multiyear agreement between Microsoft and MLS means cutting-edge experiences for soccer fans throughout the course of the partnership. In the meantime, fans can look forward to trying out Windows 8 on the Microsoft Surface tablet in-stadium this season, at more than 40 games.
“MLS supporters are young and active, and technology plays a central role in their lives,” says Kathy Carter, president of Soccer United Marketing, MLS’ commercial arm. “This new partnership with Windows 8 will allow MLS fans to interact with best-in-class software, new devices and apps that will super-serve their fandom.”
