Personal (the Telecom Argentina services brand) has deployed the Sports Engagement Suite from Media Distillery to support viewing experiences of FIFA World Cup 2026 as well as future tournaments.
Personal is broadcasting the matches across the 39-day tournament, reaching two millions users within Argentina. It is using Media Distillery’s AI video clipping capabilities to auto-generate video summaries of every match on its Flow streaming platform.
Media Distillery said this is enabled by the recently unveiled Sports Engagement Suite that uses AI-enabled video analysis to process each match in real-time, detecting key moments, and assembling them into a video summary after the final whistle. The match highlight summaries are between three and eight minutes.
Silvana Cataldo, director of entertainment and brand marketing at personal, said: “Football tournaments like the World Cup are big entertainment events, and Flow needs to rise to the occasion. It’s not just about having the content; it’s about ensuring that when millions of users want to watch a match, the platform is solid, fast, and gives them everything they need at hand for a personalised experience. Delivering during a tournament of this scale is not a standalone project: it’s the ultimate test of our strategy. Content, resilience, and user experience working together to make Flow the place where Argentinians live football.”
Roland Sars, CEO of Media Distillery, added: “Personal took a clear-eyed view of what subscribers expect from a streaming service for sports today: not just access to the game, but everything around it. On demand, available fast, on any screen. The Sports Engagement Suite turns sports content into real fan engagement, before, during, and after the event, keeping viewers hooked on the platform.”
