48 creators. 48 nations. One World Cup — DAZN48 is DAZN's new global creator network for the FIFA World Cup 2026™. For every qualified nation, a creator was chosen to tell the story of the tournament from a fan's perspective — daily, authentic, and straight into the community.
Tobias Budde is the creator for Germany. The sports reporter and host posts daily around the tournament: reactions, analysis, behind-the-scenes footage, and plenty of World Cup emotion — on DAZN and his social channels.
"Insane effort, insane hustle — but incredible work and reach."
What makes it special: Tobias won among all 48 international creators. His output, his energy, and his closeness to fans made him the most successful creator in the DAZN48 network. A statement for the quality of German sports creators — and for zwoelfstein's work in talent management.
DAZN48 launched on April 24, 2026, with a global search for the best football creators in the world. The goal: putting fans worldwide at the center of the World Cup — not as passive viewers, but as a community. Tobias Budde embodied exactly that.
