But there’s a subtle point in these statistics, the number of real fans of watching football games is far less than this. So, how is it possible that this number of audiences have watched the tournaments?

In the following sections of the article, I will tell you which games to use and when to be ready for the World Cup.

The Features of HTML5 Football Games for the World Cup Fans

When the features of proper games for the World Cup audience are considered, you should pay attention to the features of the World Cup which made it that much popular, and make sure of using them in the games of your portal.

If the user feels the experience of watching the World Cup tournaments by playing your games, he will most likely enjoy the game and continues playing that.

The main features of the World Cup event that has attracted so many people all around the world can be summarized in 4 points. I suggest you check these points while purchasing a HTML5 football game for your online game portal/ P2E platform:

1) Patriotism

The main reason for watching the World Cup tournaments by people is their passion and love for their country and the winning of their compatriots, which represent them to the world by their flag and uniform. That’s why when a country’s national team wins a game, the happiness, and satisfaction of living in that country increases, at least for a limited time.

To have an exciting game with the theme of the World Cup for your online game portal/P2E platform, it is necessary to use the symbols of the countries participating in the World Cup, such as flags and uniforms. When people see the flag of their country or the country whose football they like, they will be more interested in continuing the game.

They will also show more enthusiasm for sharing the game and the scores they achieved with their favorite team.

2) Sense of Competition and Victory

According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid, self-esteem, respect, and being encouraged needs are in the fourth stage of humans’ basic needs. That’s why humans love progress, competition, and superiority over their fellowmen. The delight of being superior to the opponent and getting applause by others is an amazing feeling for every human being and no one can deny that.

The World Cup utterly satisfies these needs in the fans of different teams by making an indescribable feeling after winning a team and receiving many praises from the whole world for a country’s national team.

So, as an online game portal/P2E platform manager, you should be looking for an HTML5 football games that contains a sense of competition and winning the opponents. The opponents can be either artificial intelligence or a human in multiplayer games that are connected via split screen or the internet.

It is important to have an opponent with an exciting level of difficulty (not too easy and not too hard) for the user to overcome and win to satisfy one of his basic needs.

3) Unpredictable Events

All the excitement of the World Cup will be ruined if the results of the matches are predictable. All the people of the world are extremely excited to watch every game because of the lack of knowledge and the inability to accurately predict the matches.

Maybe that’s why the more the disparity of the teams’ power levels is, the less exciting watching the game becomes; because everybody knows what the result will be and they don’t find it interesting to follow the match.

When choosing an html5 football game for your portal, be sure to pay attention to this fact, because a simple predictable game can’t entertain a user who is excited by the World Cup games. But note that this feature of the game should exist at an appropriate level, because if you overdo it, you may completely disappoint the user from the game.

4) High Passion and Excitement

The world’s greatest players of the best national teams face each other, and in addition to the wayside issues of such an event, the competition between these people will be so exciting on the field. The excitement of the World Cup is something that attracts even the least interested people to football.

So, you should try to select a game for your online game portal/P2E platform that makes a lot of excitement for the user and makes him understand a common sense between the game and the World Cup event.

Buying HTML5 games, in any field, needs some prerequisites and information that you should note. You should first be fully familiar with the features of a profitable game for your portal and legal tips for buying HTML5 games.

By knowing these, you’ll become prepared to deal with the characteristics and interests of different audiences, one of which could be the audience of the World Cup.
