Hisense Announces Third FIFA World Cup™ Sponsorship and RGB-MiniLED Technology Reveal at IFA 2025
Hisense Makes a Splash at IFA 2025 with FIFA Sponsorship Announcement and New Tech
Hisense, a leading force in the world of consumer electronics and home appliances, has just made a monumental announcement at the IFA 2025 event held in Berlin. The company revealed its ongoing commitment as an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup™, marking its third consecutive year of collaboration with the global football governing body. This partnership, which originally began in 2018, has evolved through significant milestones, showcasing Hisense's dedication to enhancing fan experiences around the world.
The journey started with their branding initiatives during the FIFA 2018™ World Cup, where Hisense aimed to build a reputable presence among football enthusiasts. In 2022, they expanded their efforts by collaborating with FIFA+ to produce engaging content, revitalizing the way fans interacted with the sport. More recently, Hisense contributed to the innovation surrounding the VAR technology at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Now, as they look towards the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026™, which will feature 48 teams playing across three host countries, there is no doubt that their involvement will add substantial value to one of the world's most-watched sporting events.
Catherine Fang, Vice President of Hisense, expressed the company's philosophy on creating unforgettable moments for fans. She emphasized that every captivating experience begins with the right technology. Hisense upholds four key principles: technological advancement, user-centered design, intelligent services, and cultural values. By adhering to these principles, they push the boundaries of display technology — from HDR (High Dynamic Range) to laser TV — culminating in the innovative RGB-MiniLED technology that promises unprecedented image quality. This user-focused approach ensures that fans feel integrated into every moment of the sport, thus turning watching TV into an immersive experience.
At IFA 2025, Hisense showcased its cutting-edge RGB-MiniLED technology, building upon its earlier reveal of a stunning 116-inch RGB-MiniLED television at CES. The enhancements presented at this trade show included superior color accuracy, higher contrast ratios, and brightness that exceeds current QD-OLED technology. This positions Hisense at the forefront of next-generation display capabilities.
Romy Gai, FIFA's Commercial Director, highlighted the importance of partnering with Hisense to bring the best in display technology to the global audience, ensuring that the upcoming World Cup experience is truly unparalleled for fans. As the anticipation builds for the 2026 tournament, which is set to break records with its scale and participation, Hisense aims to transform millions of living rooms into front-row seats. The goal is to let fans feel the thrill of the tournament as if they were in the stadium, fully enjoying every moment.
