About Sportabal
Connecting fans and brands with sports stars for unforgettable experiences.
“I'm a young footballer trying to break into the first team at Mansfield Town. I see the connection between fans, sponsors and players every day, and wanted to create a platform for fans and businesses to access sports people easily.”
Why we built this
Sports stars are often admired, even loved by the fans. Athletes are happy to engage with fans, but there is no easy way for this to happen. Sportabal changes this, allowing fans to book sports stars for their special events at pricing to fit all budgets.
Sportabal isn't just for fans — it is for charities, businesses and any organisation who would like to use the power of a star's following. Currently the top 1% of elite athletes are used as ambassadors for mega brands.
I wanted to work out how businesses with different budgets and focus can use the power of sports stars. Sportabal levels the playing field, giving access to hundreds of sports stars offering a wide range of services for local, national and international brands at varying budgets.
Who it's for
Sportabal is for everyone, past and present sports stars at every level. Any sports person who is willing to offer services that fans and brands can book, and who wants to broaden their network and develop skills beyond the pitch or court. Whether a global or local star, there are fans and brands out there who'd like to book your service.
We do the boring bits: verification, payments, scheduling, contracts, disputes. You show up and do what you're already good at.
How it works
Stars build a profile and list what they're willing to do: appearances, content, coaching, signed merchandise, brand collaborations, anything else. Set your own price; everyone sees it upfront. Fans, families, schools, charities and brands browse, book and pay through us. You get paid.
We cover everything from a five-minute video message to a multi-day brand partnership, across twenty-eight ways a star and a fan can connect.
