Jonathan Gregory, Leicester City’s Commercial Director said: “We are proud to welcome FansUnite into our family of partners. They share our belief in the power of football to bring supporters together whether that is at King Power Stadium or around the world. FansUnite is an innovative brand looking to bring transparency and collaboration to their industry and we are delighted to be part of this journey.”
Darius Eghdami, FansUnite CEO said: “Leicester City Football Club is one of the best-supported teams in England, being one of just six clubs to hoist the Premier League Trophy since its inception in 1992, and are at the forefront of incorporating new technology to help improve player performance and fan engagement. Partnering with a globally recognised brand that shares our commitment to improving conditions for sports fans through the application of new technology was a natural fit.”
The FansUnite brand is congruous with Leicester City’s “never quit” motto as they tirelessly seek to improve the availability of free and transparent sports data through the application of new and innovative technology.
