Finding Calm in the Roar: Hisense Creates More Inclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ Experiences for Fans Across All 16 Host Cities

QINGDAO, China, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, is partnering with FIFA and KultureCity to help deliver a more inclusive matchday experience for fans with sensory sensitivities across all 16 FIFA World Cup 2026^TM host cities.

For millions of football fans, the energy of a FIFA World Cup 2026^TM match comes from the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the stadium. However, for fans with sensory sensitivities, including some individuals with autism and other sensory processing needs, these sights and sounds can become overwhelming, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience.

To help remove these barriers, Hisense-branded mobile sensory vehicles are stationed outside stadium entrances across all host cities alongside dedicated sensory rooms in stadium commercial exhibition areas throughout the tournament. These calm and welcoming spaces give fans a place to pause, reset and manage sensory stimulation, with premium Hisense displays providing calming ambient visuals that help create a more relaxing environment.

Hisense also provided opportunities for families with sensory needs to attend FIFA World Cup 2026^TM matches in a more accessible environment. Ana's family was among those who experienced the tournament through Hisense's sensory inclusion initiative."Loving football has always been a little challenging for our family since we learned that sensory needs would be part of our everyday lives," said Ana.

Uma Srivastava, Executive Director of KultureCity, sees this technology as more than a tool — as a bridge between the stadium's intensity and a fan's need for calm: "Hisense televisions present calm visual content. Hisense's advanced technology delivers clear and balanced visuals designed to support relaxation and sensory regulation."

By combining technology, accessibility support and community engagement, Hisense is helping create a FIFA World Cup 2026^TM experience where more fans can feel included and connected. The initiative reflects Hisense's long-term ESG commitment to using innovation to create more accessible and meaningful experiences for communities worldwide — bringing its vision of "Innovating a Brighter Life" to life through moments that bring people together.
