ON ITS sixth year in the Philippines, live streaming giant Uplive continues to create meaningful connections. Last year's collaboration with Shakey’s Super League was its way of connecting with the diehard volleyball community, and this partnership, which was a success back in 2022, will continue on to 2023.
Data showed that thousands of Uplive users enjoyed watching the 2022 Shakey’s Super League, a collegiate pre-season women's volleyball tournament in the Philippines organized by Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc. and the Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. Uplive allowed fans to watch from the comfort of their home or anywhere they were.
Access was free, thanks to the livestreaming app, making sports even more inclusive.
Uplive to keep streaming Shakey's Super League
Eight teams from the UAAP and 10 from the NCAA vied for the top spot with the National University Bulldogs reigning as 2022’s champion with a riveting win against De La Salle University’s Lady Spikers. Fans who were not able to purchase tickets were able to watch all the action live on Uplive. And this coming 2023, Uplive hopes to provide this same accessibility again.
“We ant to use our app not just as a platform to show off your talent to the world but to bring the world, in a sense, closer to you. We know access to some of the most exciting events can be a challenge, whether it’s economically or physically, and we hope to provide a bit more inclusivity through technology," said Andy Tan, co-founder and chief executive officer of Uplive, in a statement.
“Everyone deserves a chance to these experiences and in the Philippines, sports is a wonderful field that brings people together and inspires athleticism, good sportsmanship, and discipline. We want to give our Filipino Uplive users access to that."
