Live Rugby: Dutch team against Chile

During the international rugby match between the Dutch Men’s XV and the Chile National Rugby Union Team on November 16, 2024, at the NRCA Stadium (National Rugby Center Amsterdam), Gazeti provided live commentary directly from the sidelines for the first time. With commentator Serge Barnhoorn at the microphone, every tackle, scrum, and breakthrough reached fans in real-time—without a single second of delay.
The atmosphere in Amsterdam was intense, but thanks to Gazeti, the experience was not limited to the stands. Supporters across the country could listen in via their own phones and earbuds, as if they were standing in the stadium themselves. This created a unique blend of accessibility and fan engagement, allowing the match to reach a larger audience than ever before.
This live coverage demonstrates how Gazeti deepens the sports experience:
Same moment, same emotion — in the stadium and far beyond.

For F1 enthusiasts with and without visual impairments

Walter Tempelman, commentator Dutch GP Zandvoort
It’s an honor to describe Verstappen’s overtaking maneuvers for the Formula 1 team in Zandvoort. There are sports that seem designed to be enjoyed simultaneously with all the senses. Formula 1, and motorsports, is one such sport. The sound of the engines is an essential part of the experience.

Audiodescription makes it more fun for me

Hennie, visitor The Voice of Holland TV show
It makes everything so much more fun; I’d go again in a heartbeat. By the end of the evening, I knew one thing for sure: I want to do this again. Audio description makes an evening like this not only more accessible for me, but also much more enjoyable.

Vision for inclusivity

Daniel Schober, Pioneer of the audio stand
Daniel emphasizes a tailored approach for each club: talk to the target group, adapt infrastructure (large stadium vs. amateur field), and utilize local networks for sponsorship or internships. Daniel is also eager to contribute his years of experience and dedication to the visually impaired and blind target group.

For me, Gazeti has been a real eye-opener

Enthusiastic fan
For me, Gazeti is a real eye-opener. What surprised me just as much is the background information shared throughout. For example, I just heard that a Dutch player briefly lost consciousness in a collision in another match. And that this is already Polman’s 200th match.
