Today, we are proud to announce that we have agreed to enter a partnership with the Norwegian football club Sarpsborg 08. S08 will become our first partnered club in Norwegian football, and we view this as a significant part of the growth Never Offside has experienced since merging with The Fan Group earlier this month.
When asked about the partnership, Alexander Klaussen, Head of Private Markets at S08, said this: "I have kept track of The Fan Group and the work they have done with The Norwegian Hockey League for quite some time now, and I am liking what I am seeing. After the recent merger with Never Offside, which has worked with Allsvenskan clubs in Sweden, it became even more attractive for us. It feels fantastic to be able to offer our partners, supporters and members new added value and the opportunity to get closer to both the club and each other. We’re a club that wants to make it easy for both supporters and partners to buy and share tickets easily and smooth. This will be a nice addition to what we already use today. With the new possibilities the supporters, members and our partners will get with this, we’re sure it's going to be really good»
Country Manager at Never Offside, Ronny Pedersen, adds: "I am extremely happy that we are now taking steps in the right direction also in the world of football. Sarpsborg 08 is a well-organised club with large ambitions and the right mindset to achieve what they set their mind to. Following the merger with Never Offside, we are now able to offer an integrated full-scale B2B solution for the clubs' partners, which has increased the interest in our platform. In addition, we are convinced that our one-stop-shop solution solves the clubs' comprehensive needs in an easy-to-understand fashion. There are many niche solutions available, but we aim to be different by solving all challenges the clubs encounter."
All in all, we are looking forward to a future with Sarpsborg 08 as part of our family. The development of their platform will start in the near future and we look forward to bringing you more updates as we get closer to the official release.
On behalf of everyone at Never Offside, WELCOME SARPSBORG 08!
