Stadium Stories
A tournament 'color' app that turns the side-stories of a World Cup — political boxes, celeb sightings, fan-zone culture, jersey economics — into a scannable daily brief, so fans feel caught up on the parts their friends are texting about.

The Trump–Sánchez box photo and Infantino trophy 'cachetada' became the kind of water-cooler story that an event-only app can capture — none of the major tournament apps treat the social color as a feature on its own.
