OneFootball is a football media platform that delivers comprehensive football content from hundreds of leagues and competitions, including free and pay-per-view live streamed matches. The platform reported more than 100 million monthly active users and produced over 15,000 livestreams and on-demand clips in 2021. OneFootball has expanded its product set through acquisitions such as Dugout (Dec 2020) and by bringing leading clubs and federations on as shareholders. The company is pushing into Web3 via OneFootball Labs, a joint venture with Animoca Brands and Liberty City Ventures, aiming to offer accessible digital assets and fan experiences purchasable with just email and a credit card. Its roadmap emphasizes mass adoption of blockchain in football, broader OTT streaming, continued product development, and platform and user growth. The business recently secured new capital to fund these initiatives, signaling a focus on scaling global reach and digital fan experiences. Onefootball operates a mobile-first football app that aggregates content and engages fans, describing itself as a “Facebook for football without the social element.” The app has 25 million fans in 200 countries and drives deep engagement — about 90% of users have opted in to push notifications and some return 40–50 times per month. The company focuses on top-of-funnel experiences and explicitly avoids building betting, merchandise, or ticketing businesses. Strategic partnerships are a priority: Adidas was announced as a new investor, reflecting the value of Onefootball’s direct channel to fans. Financially, the company confirmed additional funding rounds (an unreported Series B and Series C) and has raised more than the $20 million that had been publicly reported to date. Founder Lucas von Cranach said he is deliberate about fundraising decisions, weighing dilution, valuation and cash on hand. The Football App is a mobile application that combines user-generated social content with professional media around football matches and news. The company introduced a 'Fan Zone' that integrates live commentary from social feeds alongside professional media content. It focuses on building social features and increasing user-generated content to drive engagement against competitors. The team plans to use new funding to continue developing social aspects of the platform and to bolster international growth ahead of the 2014 World Cup. The app has accumulated 10 million downloads since launching in 2008, with 3 million added in the prior six months. Founder and CEO Lucas von Cranach has stated a goal to double the user base after the 2014 World Cup. THE Football App provides a mobile football application that aggregates data, media content and services (including ticketing) from providers around the world. Led by co-founder and CEO Lucas von Cranach, the app offers live tickers, rankings, team statistics and services for leagues, teams and matches. Content covers over 100 leagues in six languages and the free app is available on iTunes, Google Play, Windows Store and Samsung SmartTV. The company intends to use the €10m in Series A funding to continue global growth, improve community and social features, and to release complementing products ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The company is hiring.
