One product for the whole matchday
Football fans currently move between score apps, group chats, forums and prediction tools during the same match. FanLobby brings that fragmented experience together. The same match screen connects live scores, statistics and lineups with fast community reactions, longer discussions, predictions and persistent fan profiles.
The working MVP is publicly available as a production web app, on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
Product proof
Live match and arena
Scores, incidents, statistics and lineups sit beside a real-time chat for short messages, emotes, cheers, moderation and live fan reactions.
In-depth lounges
Match and team spaces support longer Reddit-style threads, comments, voting and community memory before and after the final whistle.
Predictions and groups
Fans make picks, compare standings and compete with friends. Scoring remains skill-based and is never pay-to-win.
Fan identity and safety
Profiles, badges, name styles and cosmetics create identity, while authentication, reports, bans, rate limits and moderation protect the community.

12-month roadmap
FanLobby is football-first, not football-only. Its normalized sports-data backend and reusable community layer are designed to turn major live events into lasting communities and later support additional sports without rebuilding the core product.
- Next 3 months Harden production operations, improve onboarding and measure retention, match returns and community participation across the live football product.
- 3 to 6 months Deepen arena, lounge and prediction loops, expand competitions and prepare freemium fan-identity and live-expression features for activation.
- 6 to 12 months Add more major football events, validate the first additional sport and begin pre-seed outreach once early engagement milestones demonstrate demand.
Google Cloud, Firebase and scale
Production architecture
FanLobby uses Firebase Hosting, Cloud Functions v2, Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, Firebase Authentication, Cloud Storage, App Check, Cloud Scheduler, Secret Manager, Cloud Logging and Crashlytics.
Cloud growth path
Cloud capacity supports real-time community traffic, live-match spikes, sports-data normalization, backend APIs, monitoring, load testing and mobile/web delivery as the product grows across competitions and sports.
