Messi Cam to debut during MLS Playoffs

There will now be a camera exclusively on Lionel Messi! Major League Soccer (MLS) and Apple TV are debuting a "Player Spotlight" on TikTok, focusing exclusively on Lionel Messi during Inter Miami's first playoff game this season.

This camera will only be focused on Messi, allowing fans to watch his every movement and expression on and off the ball. This marks the first time TikTok will stream a full soccer match with a single-player focus. Starting five minutes before kickoff, the Messi Cam live stream will be available on the MLS and InterMiamiCF TikTok accounts.

MLS aims to engage its international fanbase, with Messi's first MLS playoff game expected to draw significant attention. The match will also be shown in Times Square, with Inter Miami considered a favourite for the MLS Cup.

This could indeed be a watershed moment in football broadcasting, with potentially more high-profile players getting an exclusive camera in the future. Who would you like to have a separate camera on in the football world? Let us know in the comments!
