Fanzword, the Dubai-based Football Fan Engagement platform making waves in the football world, is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with XVC Tech, a $125 million fund specializing in early-stage Web3 startups.
This strategic collaboration, featuring a $1.2 million investment commitment in the Pre-Seed round led by XVC Tech and regional Angel Investors, not only solidifies Fanzword’s path to regional dominance but also sets a remarkable new standard for web3 gaming in the Middle East.
In a world where football unites billions, Fanzword stands as the ultimate platform for passionate fans. With over 250,000 downloads, a staggering 15 million predictions made, and an impressive 4.7/5 rating on Apple Store and Google Play, Fanzword has firmly established itself as the go-to destination for football enthusiasts.
The journey commenced in 2021 when Fanzword’s co-founders, Ibrahim El Mohdar and Amr El-Beheiry, embarked on a mission to create more than just an app. They aimed to build a virtual stadium where fans could not only follow their beloved teams but also connect, interact, and earn substantial rewards.
“We believe that now is the perfect time to leverage a Football Fan Engagement Platform in the Middle East,” remarked Ibrahim El Mohdar, Co-Founder & CEO at Fanzword. “Especially after the resounding success of the World Cup in Qatar and the Saudi Pro League’s blockbuster signings of football legends like C.Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, and Benzema.”
Johan Lundberg, founding partner and board member at XVC Tech, shares this enthusiasm, stating, “We believe that the partnership with Fanzword will not only reshape web3 gaming but also accelerate the adoption of NextGen Technology Solutions in the Middle East and beyond.”
Fanzword’s explosive growth in 2022, with a user base increase of 120x, sets the stage for exciting new features like Football Fantasy. However, this is just the beginning. Fanzword is committed to evolving into a web3 gaming powerhouse, and with XVC Tech as a strategic partner, the future looks exceedingly promising.
Amr El-Beheiry, Co-Founder & CCO at Fanzword, envisions Fanzword as “the one-stop shop for football fans worldwide—a colossal virtual stadium where the NextGen can unite.”
