YD Entertainment adds Global Stadium for real-time noises

YD Entertainment has added a Global Stadium to SportsTv in Portugal, offering more realistic crowd reactions for the country’s top-flight Primeira Liga.

Portugal’s major sports channel will feature more accurate crowd noises as broadcasters continue to find ways to generate atmosphere during games.

Global Stadium can be found via the SportTv app on IOS and Android devices. This is where fans can select and send sounds that they would make as if they’d be at the game.

A variety of noises including cheers, boos, chants, applause and protest sounds can be sent and played immediately for the live TV broadcast – for events like goals, penalties and key referee decisions or match-changing actions. There is even the ability for these sounds to be played over PA systems.

Global Stadium uses Artificial Intelligence to dissect the number and popularity of sounds accumulated, so that it is represented as best as possible. In situations where teams are chasing a goal or gaining heaps of momentum, the volume of noise will change accordingly.

If a large amount of fans are cheering for a team, this will be heard loud and clear. If some are cheering and others booing, it will be balanced out proportionally and will increase the volume of the most signals coming in.

Global Stadium collects a whole range of data that can see where fans are sending in sounds from and these reactions can be communicated back to the players.

“Our patented technology is ready to be rolled out in stadiums, studios and elsewhere,” Edmundo Nobre, Chief Operating Officer of YD Entertainment said.

“Our product roadmap will allow for even more remote fan interaction with the arrival of new network capabilities like 5G”.

While fans are unable to attend games for the time being, YD Entertainment’s addition of Global Stadium is another innovative step forward as games continue to be behind closed doors.

“We are excited about these first steps in massive multiplayer online interactions,” John Hagie, Managing Director of YD Entertainment said.

“This is the right moment to be building engagement among fans who are viewing events in their homes or on the move.”

The youngest recipient since its inception, Mossin will officially receive the award after leading the Ninja A-League Grand Final 2026 on Saturday.

 

A rapid rise

After debuting in 2023, Mossin has quickly proved quality, composure and confidence as a referee in the Ninja A-League.

As a result of the achievement, Mossin will be the appointed referee for this weekend’s Grand Final between Melbourne City FC and Wellington Phoenix.

After beginning in the North West Sydney Football Association, Mossin then honed her craft with the Football NSW Referee Academy, a journey with foundations truly embedded in youth development and grassroots football.

Thus, Mossin is not just am individual success story, but a symbol of what institutional investment and opportunities can do for young women looking for a pathway to the game.

 

Celebrating success

The plaudits, unsurprisngly, are arriving from across Australia’s football landscape, with many emphasising the incredible standards set by Mossin since her debut just three years ago.

“This award is testament to Isabella’s hard work and dedication to refereeing, and a great reflection of the next generation of referees coming through the system in Australia,” said A-Leagues CEO, Steve Rosich.

“At just 25 years of age, she has consistently demonstrated composure, leadership, strong decision-making and the ability to perform under pressure in some of the biggest matches in the competition,” highlighted Football Australia Head of Referees, Jon Moss.

“Having someone refereeing their first Ninja A-league Women’s Grand Final at the age of 25 years should inspire all girls and young women referees (and potential referees) and show them that age is not a barrier to talent being recognised within Football Australia refereeing,” said Chair of Football Australia Referee Committee, David Elleray.

Given Mossin’s reputation and experience already at the top level of women’s football in Australia, there is no doubt that she will rise to the occasion this Saturday.
