FootballNet is a decentralized ecosystem that seamlessly integrates into all of the client’s internal processes and systems:

  • CRM and data warehouses

Management and analytics dashboard

Our web-based management and analytics dashboard for club administration presents in-depth fan behavioral data collected in compliance with GDPR.

It provides actionable insights into the fans’ attendance, preferences, spending behavior, geography, and more.

Club owners get the opportunity to increase fan engagement, provide bespoke loyalty-building initiatives, and ultimately, build such an environment that attracts investment and leads to offers from sponsors.
