Idea

Football (Soccer) is a dynamic all year sport with 4+ billion followers globally. Passionate fans like to express themselves and we estimate that they exchange millions of messages daily on various social media platforms. Fans generate a plethora of business opportunities like merchandise, advertising, ticketing, gaming, travel, streaming and more. We believe these fans are scattered and diluted on many platforms to meet their daily Football needs.

The Football Fan app leverages an opportunity for a dedicated fan-driven platform with the vision to become the go-to app for anything Football.

The app aims to offer a blend of SportsTech with business opportunities supported by fan-engagement features where fans create and contribute their Football-focused content, honoring a 'by the fans, for the fans' ethos.

Fans can connect with other fans or their club, create stories, watch videos, follow live scores, in-game events, statistics, post opinions/reactions, use banter rooms and more. Fans are rewarded with FanCoin® the more they contribute.

The app has over 22K downloads with 1.5Mn+ interactions since its launch in June’20. We are fundraising to fuel user growth, starting with an initial focus on fans of English Football. We plan to introduce initial monetisation features and make FanCoin® redeemable, helping to offer more value to contributing fans.
