Facer and Citizen's Riiiver Team Launch "🏆 Kick it" — A New Connected Watch Face Experience for International Soccer Fans
The first watch face released through the Facer and Riiiver partnership helps fans celebrate the world's biggest international soccer tournament directly from their wrist
LOS ANGELES, CA — Facer, the world's leading watch face platform, today announced the launch of “🏆 Kick it”, the first watch face experience developed in collaboration with the Riiiver team at Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.
Designed for fans following the world's biggest international soccer tournament, 🏆 Kick it transforms your smartwatch into the ultimate companion for this momentous event. Fans can select their favorite national team through the Facer mobile app and instantly personalize their watch with a face that shows off their team's colors and flag and displays real-time info about their team's progress and matches in the world cup.
Your team. Your wrist.
Powered by licensed sports data through Citizen's Riiiver platform, 🏆 Kick it brings key team information directly to the wrist, including:
- Headlines related to your team's upcoming and live match
- Your team’s colors and flag
- Their next scheduled match
- Live scores and match status
- Group standings and rankings
- Team records and tournament performance
- Opponent rankings and records
Beyond live match information, 🏆 Kick it also captures the atmosphere and excitement of international soccer. Powered by Facer’s Face ChimeTM at the top of each hour, fans can hear the roar of the crowd singing the iconic "Ole, Ole Ole Ole" chant, bringing a taste of the stadium experience directly to their wrist.
The result is a watch face experience like no other that evolves throughout the tournament, helping fans get in the spirit of the games and stay informed while celebrating the teams they support.
"This launch represents an exciting milestone for the partnership between Facer and the Riiiver team at Citizen," said Brook Eaton, Chief Product Officer at Facer. "When we announced our partnership earlier this year, our vision was to create unique watch face experiences that go beyond simply displaying the time and smartwatch data. 🏆 Kick it is the first example of that vision becoming a reality."
First announced at CES 2026, the collaboration between Facer and Citizen's Riiiver team aims to bring richer, more connected experiences to smartwatch users around the world.
The Riiiver team at Citizen Watch, a watch company that has the capabilities of all its manufacturing in-house, from crafting individual watch components to final assembly —, enables devices like watches to incorporate timely information and connected experiences that help users stay closer to the moments and passions they care about most.
"This is only the beginning," said Masaki Ohishi, General Manager at Citizen Watch Co, Ltd. "We're excited to continue exploring how Facer and Riiiver can work together to create new watch face experiences that are informative, engaging, and deeply personal for smartwatch users around the world."
🏆 Kick it is available now through Facer on smartwatches running Google Wear OS 6 or later and users in the US, Canada, Japan and the UK - with EU countries expected soon - just in time for the biggest international soccer tournament in the world!
