Bringing Fans the Best
Swansea City AFC have a history of digital forward thinking and bringing their fans the very best. After being one of the first clubs to focus efforts on their app as a core tool for fan engagement and driving revenue for the club they have since been the first UK club to launch in-app tickets, closely followed by season tickets. Now they are the first to benefit from the value in widgets for the fans, the club, and their partners.

Not only do widgets allow key content to be presented to the user, enticing them into the app, but they are also a highly sponsorable asset. Being front and centre of a fan’s home screen is a prized position for any club partner.
