Manchester City is building world’s first football stadium in the metaverse

Manchester City, the current English Premier League champions, has started the construction of the world’s first football stadium in the metaverse, with the assistance of virtual reality (VR) specialists from Sony.

The club’s stadium, the Etihad, will be transformed into the central hub of Man City in a VR world thanks to image analysis and skeletal-tracking technology developed by Hawk-Eye, a subsidiary of the tech and entertainment behemoth.
