Waze announced a new soccer navigation experience in time for the World Cup 2022 tournament, which kicks off on November 20th.
Waze launched a Halloween-themed driving experience a few weeks ago, although the soccer customization looks a lot more fun. After all, World Cup 2022 will last almost through Christmas, with the final game scheduled for December 18th.
The Waze soccer experience includes soccer commentating styles from around the world that will be adapted to directions and navigation. If you’re familiar with the sport, you also know the commentator jargon that matches your region.Waze soccer navigation experience launched before the World Cup 2022 tournament start.

You’ll hear things like “Take the first exit. Then it’s onward to glory!” and “Hazard reported ahead. Getting through that defense could prove tricky.” Also, comments like “Accident reported ahead. That could hold up play for a while,” and “Keep Left. Like a left winger hugging the touchline” might be part of the Waze soccer experience.
For Brazil, Waze partnered with Luva de Pedreiro for soccer-based voice directions. De Pedreiro is the most-followed soccer commentator on social media in the country, Waze says.

If the soccer navigation experience isn’t yet available on your iPhone or Android device, you might have to update Waze to the latest app version. Or just wait for Google to enable it in your region.
