A Front-row Seat to the SEA Games with SKYWORTH

There’s something about sport that brings people together, and leading global television brand SKYWORTH is gearing up to bring the very best moments of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) straight to the living rooms of Filipinos. A pioneer in big-screen Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), SKYWORTH was recently named the Official Television Partner of the 30^th SEA Games in Manila.

Filipinos are naturally passionate about sports, something that the TV brand knows all too well. “Just like Filipinos, sport has always been embedded in SKYWORTH’s DNA. And we are committed to giving Filipinos the best viewing experiences of the 2019 SEA Games. Through immersive viewing experiences, we want to create opportunities for Filipinos to come together and celebrate their love of sports,” Mr. Benjamin Yuoankee said.

From virtually there to actually there

As the Official Television Partner of the 30^th SEA Games in Manila, SKYWORTH is giving Filipinos the opportunity to level up their experience of the biennial multi-sport event.

Via a lucky draw on October 28, 2019, the company is giving SKYWORTH TV owners the chance to take home an 55XA9000, so they can enjoy a fully immersive SEA Games experience from the comforts of their own homes. But for those that want the realest experience, the TV brand is also giving select winners tickets to the 2019 SEA Games, so they can cheer and support the games live.
