Soccer Apps Get Hot As FTBpro Secures $5.8M To Go Global While The Football App Inks ?10M From Earlybird

There's something about Soccer (and as a Brit, by that I mean Football, pulease...) that seems to have captured investors' imagination of late. A case in point: FTBpro, a large fan-generated content platform has now secured $5.8 million from Battery Ventures and Gemini Israel Ventures to fund global expansion. The site currently has 20 million monthly page views, over 1,000 contributing fan writers, covering all major leagues worldwide and publishes content and tools in a variety of languages. And they are not the only one. The move comes just after 'The Football App' raised its first institutional funding with a ?10m Series A from a syndicate led by Earlybird Venture Capital in Berlin. The Football App has become a pretty dominant mobile football app amongst European fans.
