Overview

ClubCore was created to help football clubs build stronger relationships with their supporters beyond match days. Yugasa partnered with the client across discovery, design, development, testing and deployment to create a secure digital ecosystem connecting clubs, players and fans.

The platform combines exclusive content, fan rewards, merchandise and club management within a single scalable experience.

This is the right length for the Overview box in your template.

Business Challenge

The client needed to create a digital fan ecosystem that increased engagement while giving football clubs greater control over content, commerce and supporter relationships.

• Beyond Match Days

  Clubs needed meaningful digital experiences that kept fans connected even when games were not being played.

• Genuine Engagement

  The rewards model needed to distinguish genuine video engagement from automated or passive viewing. 03 — Multi Club Management Multiple clubs needed independent control over players, content, merchandise and fan engagement. 04 — Secure Commerce The platform needed secure payments, protected user data and GDPR compliant handling across the UK and Europe. This is much closer to the visual weight of the four challenge cards in your original template.
