Hyundai Launches One-Of-A-Kind Immersive Fan Experience for UEFA Euro 2016

Hyundai UK is launching a one-of-a-kind, innovative ‘FanDome’ experience in King’s Cross, London which will host 45,000 guests across 45 games of UEFA EURO 2016. Fans across the country are encouraged to apply for free tickets for the chance to experience football like never before through a world-first live reactive 360-degree audio-visual experience.

The Hyundai FanDome instantly reacts in real time to the action in live matches with everything from goals scored, red and yellow cards, penalty shootouts, national anthems and even injury time triggering a unique immersive audio-visual response.

A system of giant 360-degree screens surrounds the entire interior of the FanDome. Four metres high and the length of a football pitch (91 metres), this custom built display encloses fans in ‘Football Heaven’ - a stylised world of football. Innovative 16-projector display screens made up of 36.8 Mega Pixels will also allow fans to see every blade of French grass on every pitch.

The ‘Football Heaven’ will feature renowned actor and former Wales international player Vinnie Jones and his on screen team of cherubs. The humorous animations will raise anticipation ahead of each match, opening the gates of ‘Football Heaven’ and reacting to key match moments. Fans will glimpse cherubs wheeling in cannons and playing tubas as they celebrate live match successes and see them hiding in the clouds to avoid the Grim Reaper if a red card is shown.

For each match there will be a team of five technical experts delivering the live reactive audio-visual elements. Visitors will be given infrared LED wristbands in key matches that will be stimulated by live elements in the game, according to which team they are supporting. In certain matches a scent of cut grass will be dispersed throughout the FanDome, giving visitors the ultimate ‘Football Heaven’ experience.

Vinnie Jones comments, “It’s the next best place to watch the Euros if you can’t be there in person. What Hyundai has done here with the creation of the FanDome is really innovative and puts the fans first. I’m always keen to give back and continue to be involved in a sport I’m so passionate about. I’d encourage all football fans to come down and see me in action in the Hyundai FanDome’s ‘Football Heaven’.”

Tony Whitehorn, President & CEO, Hyundai UK comments, “We are thrilled to be able to put fans first and share their passion for the sport by creating this innovative and unique football experience. We hope that for those who can’t get to France, this will be the best place to experience the matches. The Hyundai FanDome is a celebration of our long standing partnership with football and marks our official support of UEFA EURO 16.”

Guests attending the Hyundai FanDome will also be in with a chance of winning one of three pairs of tickets to the UEFA EURO Finals. Each winner will also receive hospitality, accommodation and travel costs alongside their tickets.

The Hyundai FanDome will broadcast 45 matches from the first Group Stage match today – Friday 10th June – up to the final, to be held on Sunday 10th July.

All guests will be encouraged to make a small text donation of £2 to Hyundai UK’s official charity partner, Street League (Text GOAL25 followed by the amount to 70070).Street League aims to change the lives of young people through the power of football and to help to put an end to structural youth unemployment in the UK.

It also offers nationally-recognised qualifications.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.
