ASB GlassFloor debuts first international volleyball match on glass court

Players and fans were captivated by the first international volleyball match played on ASB GlassFloor’s innovative glass video court

Munich’s BMW Park hosted the first international volleyball match on a glass LED video court. The event showcased ASB GlassFloor’s groundbreaking technology to nearly 7000 enthusiastic spectators.

This event marked the 50th anniversary of the Bavarian Volleyball Association, with Germany narrowly losing to Italy. Regardless of the score, the evening was a resounding success and a major milestone for ASB GlassFloor.

“The match against Italy was a true highlight – not only athletically, but also in terms of presentation,” said René Beck, CFO of the German Volleyball Association. “With the innovative glass floor technology, we were able to accompany the match with striking visual effects – from animated player introductions and waving flags during the national anthem to dynamic animations after each point.”

Players also responded enthusiastically. National team member Erik Röhrs was particularly impressed by not only the uniqueness of the LED floor, but also the performance of the surface. “The surface feels slightly firmer than usual and there’s a pleasant warmth coming from the floor,” Röhrs noted.

BMW Park now features the world’s first permanently installed high-tech video sports floor. ASB GlassFloor delivers optimal playing conditions, strong promotional opportunities for sponsors and a fully immersive multimedia experience for fans.
