Decentralized Football — TheFutbolApp
Two of my favourite football-related quotes are “Football is unconditional love” by Tom Brady and “Football is the ballet of the masses” by Dmitri Shostakovich. I agree with these quotes because football as a sport is not just about goal tallies and revenue figures but also inspiration and style.
According to research, football is the most-watched and played sport in the world. For example, the FIFA World Cup finals in 2014 recorded about 672 million tweets and the top 10 tweeted about moments of 2014 were all sports-related.
These statistics show how passionate people are towards sports in general, and most importantly, football. As a result, football clubs and players try as much as possible to keep up and interact with their fans via all the social platforms. In as much as this is relatively good, the downside to this is that fans will have to have to be on several social platforms to engage with the clubs and players they support. This stems from the fact that each social platform has its content strategy and no single social platform solely caters to the football industry whereby fans can engage with their clubs, get aggregated news, have private/public match discussions etc. In turn, this poses more stress to the fans and consume much of their time because of having to switch between social platforms to get information and engage with their favourite clubs and players.
All these challenges have further limited the engagement rate between fans and clubs/professional players, and also detracts from their love for the game. Having realized these limitations, pandaHAUS leveraged blockchain technology to build and launch a decentralized app called “TheFutbolApp” to bridge the current gaps between fans and clubs/professional players. The TheFutbolApp is a one-stop-shop and easy-to-use ecosystem where fans can have public/private match discussions, social interactions, aggregated football news, live scores, and clubs can engage with their fans as well as monetize their social media following to generate additional revenue
THEFUTBOLAPP ECOSYSTEM AND FEATURES
TheFutbolApp’s model is very interesting and one to watch out for because of the features within the TheFutbolApp ecosystem. TheFutbolApp ticked every box by uniquely solving the challenges currently poised at fans, professional players and clubs, recreational clubs and coaches. Below summarizes the functionality of the ecosystem:
For coaches: Isn’t it awesome that coaches can create rooms within the app to have player-coach discussions with the combination of a secure double factor authentication for security purposes. TheFutbolApp (TFA) partner program. Clubs promote the app to their fans in exchange for administrative rights to their “app within the app” and get either a revenue share or an allocation of ad space that they can sell to their big advertisers.
For Professional Clubs: Professional clubs are not left behind because utilizing. TheFutbolApp enables them to monetize their social media. Currently, most clubs find it hard to directly reach and engage with their fans, and as such, coerced to spend huge amounts of money on Ads spend.
However, TheFutbolApp (TFA) has a partner program whereby Clubs will have the autonomy to promote their TFA to their fans in exchange for administrative rights to their “app within the TheFutbolApp. In turn, they receive a share of the revenue or allotted ad space which they can, in turn, sell to their large advertisers.
For semi-pro and recreational clubs: This segment faces a lot of drawbacks largely because they are not like the big professional clubs, hence, the current social platforms hardly report their live scores, and in most cases, knowing the history of the club is a challenge. Furthermore, we barely see their match highlights and their fan base.
kudos to TheFutbolApp for coming up with a platform to fix these issues. TheFutbolApp provides a user-friendly interface to add live scores and match highlights. Also, instant match notifications are sent to followers of the club.
For players: One of the major challenges they face despite having huge social media followings is that most players do not reach the fans of their club. TheFutbolApp will enable all fans to auto-follow all players within a club across their social platforms.
NATIVE TOKEN WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM
The TheFutbolCoin (TFC) will be the driving force of the platform. It will function as a multi-utility token that will be used to fuel the TheFutbolApp ecosystem. The STP token can be used for activities such as:
- Running of Ads within the TheFutbolApp ecosystem
- Purchase of goods and services such as tickets, merchandise etc from vendors in the TheFutbolApp ecosystem
- Donation of funds to young and promising football talents via crowdfunding within the ecosystem
- Listing of recreational clubs and their rosters
