For the 2026 Croky Cup Final, won by Union Saint-Gilloise who beat Anderlecht on 14 May at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Mediapro Belgium delivered an extensive television production on behalf of DAZN Belgium, deploying unprecedented technical resources for a football match in Belgium.
This historic match benefited from one of the most ambitious football productions ever carried out in Belgium, relying on three Mediapro OB units. DAZN also introduced an innovative concept based on the full mutualisation of audio and video resources across the three mobile production units, enabling maximum operational flexibility, real-time content sharing and editorial consistency across all feeds.
For the setup, OB23 was dedicated to the international feed; OB86 produced the Flemish-language feed; and OB58 produces the French-language feed.
A total of 27 cameras were deployed to provide viewers with a highly immersive and spectacular broadcast experience. This included two super slow motion cameras and seven wireless cameras consisting of two Steadycams, two cinematic style cameras, a drone, a Selfiecam and a chest mounted referee camera.
The final also marked a Belgian first with the use of a new chest-mounted referee camera, an innovative stabilised camera specially developed by Omni4Sky, a Mediapro Group subsidiary specialised in immersive capture technologies. The solution includes an RCP system enabling live shading control and management of other critical camera parameters.
All graphics requirements for the production were delivered by WTvision, also part of the Mediapro Group, ensuring a modern and enhanced visual experience. WTvision notably delivered augmented reality statistics for the international feed as well as advanced graphical match analysis tools.
The final was broadcast on DAZN Belgium, which, through Mediapro Belgium, also made the international feed available to RTBF and Play Sports Telenet.
“This Croky Cup Final perfectly illustrates the excellent collaboration between DAZN Belgium and Mediapro over the past ten years. The quality, professionalism and experience of the teams, combined with the technical resources deployed, enabled us to offer supporters a world-class broadcast experience. DAZN aims to provide fans with new highly immersive viewing experiences. Mediapro, with its innovative and disruptive mindset, helps us achieve this ambition,” said Jan Mosselmans, COO of DAZN Belgium.
“We are delighted to continue collaborating with DAZN on ambitious projects that help elevate Belgian football. This exceptional production demonstrates both the talent of our teams and the quality of the technical resources deployed to meet the highest international standards,” added Marc Caeymaex, managing director of Mediapro Belgium.
