Homefans and FC Urban seal a partnership

Official Partnership Announcement – 03.02.2021

Homefans and FC Urban are delighted to join forces and announce their strategic partnership. It will allow both startups to tap into their joined audiences and complement their respective value proposition: to provide the best digital and physical experiences, and get together and take part in a community of football lovers who get together to play the sport in the best locations in the world. All in all, both communities will benefit from this and get access to exclusive perks and content.

FC Urban was founded in 2017 with a dream: to make football more accessible and convenient with fun, friendship and the freedom to play. It’s our goal to build the biggest football community in the world. They chose this goal with good reason – to help fans be part of the dream and to play football wherever they are and whenever they would want to. After starting small, in a park with a ball, bibs, goals and some friends. FC Urban’s matches have multiplied and they are now active in four countries with plans to keep growing throughout 2021. Their fantastic football community is growing everyday with plenty of matches, foot camp fitness sessions (sometimes followed by beers..!) and social events to help their members get to know each other. FC Urban is the perfect platform for people who want to play football, meet new people and be part of a football community and in the true spirit of football: people from all backgrounds and skill levels are all welcome!

The unique Homefans marketplace model incorporates the fan experience at the heart of its value proposition, and one of the most rewarding experiences is to get behind the ball and connect with like-minded people. FC Urban landmark venues will be added to the marketplace so the Homefans community can choose to take part in those.

Equally, the FC Urban community will be granted unique access to the portfolio of physical and virtual experiences, as well as to the recent launched Homefans Shop with perks and rewards exclusive to ongoing members. Lastly, both companies will extract the best stories out of the community members and will develop a joint content creation format to amplify their stories on their channels.
