“We see strong vision alignment between CONIFA and mycujoo,” said CONIFA President Per-Anders Blind. “We both want football to be available for all.

“mycujoo contacted us early in our preparations for the 2018 Paddy Power World Football Cup, and have shown great enthusiasm in becoming an official tournament partner,” he continued. “We are delighted that mycujoo’s cutting-edge streaming technology will make CONIFA’s biggest tournament available to a global audience.”

João Presa, COO and founder of mycujoo, welcomed the announcement.

“CONIFA, like mycujoo, is an innovative organisation that wants to use sport for good,” he said. “When the opportunity came to partner with the ‘alternative world cup’ – the 2018 Paddy Power World Football Cup – we couldn’t wait to get involved.

“We are looking forward to CONIFA fans all-around the world – from Tuvalu to Tokyo, Bulawayo to Barawa – being introduced to mycujoo’s next-generation streaming technology. This is what mycujoo is about – bringing the digitalisation of football to the uncharted territories of the game.”
