Zurich, Switzerland, April, 04, 2025 - Interprefy is set to enhance the fan experience at the Bastide Médical UTS Nîmes tournament by providing AI-powered real-time speech translation through live subtitles on stadium screens. This ensures that over 8,000 spectators can follow every moment — from live coaching to post-match reflections — regardless of the language they speak.
UTS (Ultimate Tennis Showdown) is a groundbreaking tennis league designed to make the sport more fast-paced and immersive. Taking place at the historic Les Arènes de Nîmes on 4-5 April 2025, the tournament features shorter breaks between points, single serves, and more expressive player interactions.
By introducing AI-generated subtitles for match commentary and interviews, Interprefy is helping to make the event more inclusive for international audiences.
Advancing Real-Time Speech Translation in Sports
This initiative is part of a wider move towards greater accessibility in sports broadcasting. Player interviews and live commentary play a key role in shaping the spectator experience, but language differences can limit fan engagement. Interprefy’s real-time speech translation technology ensures that no fan is left out.
At the heart of every sporting event is the connection between fans and athletes. Whether it’s a player’s thought after a big win or an emotional reflection on a tough match, these moments shape the experience for spectators.
By making sure that language doesn’t stand in the way, we’re enabling all fans to share in the full tournament experience.
— Johann Brégand, Global Head of Institutions at Interprefy
This pioneering use of AI-powered live captions is setting a new standard for sports accessibility.
AI Speech Translation: A Game-Changer for Live Events
As global sporting events attract more diverse audiences, accessibility is becoming a top priority for organisers. Interprefy AI, which supports over 6,000 language combinations, is already transforming remote simultaneous interpretation, AI speech translation services, and live captioning for professional meetings and events.
AI-powered speech translation is transforming communication for businesses and organisations, and now we are redefining how fans experience sports, music and cultural events.
— Oddmund Braaten, CEO at Interprefy
