Hailing from Germany, Prematch is a groundbreaking all-in-one football platform for grassroots leagues expanding rapidly across Europe.
Prematch is a social data platform designed to connect grassroots football fans, players, clubs and leagues, providing each with an unprecedented level of professional information.
Launched in August 2022 to a purely German market, Prematch has demonstrated significant growth. The Prematch app has attracted users from 98% of all German teams across the football pyramid and has now expanded into the United Kingdom.
The Prematch App
As an app specifically designed for the grassroots and amateur level, Prematch offers a uniquely new experience with its world class features.
Market Value Profiling
Once a user has created an account they will be prompted to create a player profile, from here they can use this to evaluate their market value on Prematch’s internal market evaluator. Mimicking real world transfer markets, Prematch will variably adjust a player’s value depending on how they perform each match. The platform achieves this via a points system, with more points resulting in a higher market value. Players earn points depending on the stats they accrue from a game, incentivizing them to perform the best they can to boost their market value.
Additionally, Prematch users can browse through their league’s or team’s player profiles, allowing them to see which players are deemed the best or those that are on a hot streak.
News and Information Across the Football Pyramid
The driving principle of Prematch’s work is to cater towards the grassroots footballing leagues which are often ignored by other footballing technology companies, thus the Prematch platform provides news and information across each level of the football pyramid.
Working across a number of different categories, Prematch not only delivers simple news about game results but also offers fast coverage of transfers and football events.
To ensure fans never miss out on what they need to know, Prematch has inbuilt customisable push notifications. Users can decide what players, teams or leagues they want to be notified about, and can even alter the style of notification for each preference.
However, where Prematch truly outshines its competitors is through its Prematch Facts. Here, teams receive power ratings measuring their qualities in star rankings across a number of different categories. Through Prematch Facts teams are also profiled on their style of play, granting coaches and players the ability to prepare for upcoming games in a far more extensive manner than ever before.
Conclusion
It is an understatement to say that Prematch has been a success, with the company flourishing vibrantly in its short lifespan. The German organisation has not only amassed a widespread trusted audience within its home nation but has gained a number of high-profile supporters which will embolden it as it grows internationally.
Chief among these supporters is the beloved ex-Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, famed for winning titles with his frenetic style at the latter two clubs. Together, Klopp and his family have supported Prematch’s move into the UK with great effect, boosting the app to second place in the Apple App Store’s sport category for apps.
Additionally, Prematch has cemented itself on the footballing market through key partnerships with renowned brands. A major partnership with German sportswear giant Adidas early last year signaled how significant Prematch had become, while another partnership with American sports drink company Gatorade for a brand-new sponsored Gatorade Team of the Month feature on the Prematch platform has boosted engagement, with up to 42,000 nominations within a month.
As Prematch continues to march on, the organisation remains committed to supporting grassroots football across Europe, with the hope of providing services to all of Europe’s 190 million footballers.
