Footstock announces UK launch to add a \u2018fantasy edge to football trading\u2019\u00a0
\n \n<\/p>\n

New football trading platform Footstock<\/strong> has announced its UK launch ahead of this weekend\u2019s start of the 2020\/2021 Premier League season (Saturday 12 September).<\/span><\/p>\n

Spearheading its UK debut, <\/span>Footstock announced \u2018trading first\u2019 as it launched a \u2018\u00a3100K freeroll contest<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 which will be open to all EPL fans that register with its player trading exchange.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The freeroll contest will run throughout the course of EPL\u2019s 2020\/21 campaign, allowing Foodstock players to take on each other\u2019s trading skills, as they battle to win a share of the \u00a3100k pot, with a number of cash prizes on offer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cologne-based Footstock seeks to fuse player trading exchange components with popular fantasy football dynamics, to widen the appeal and engagement of football trading to wider audiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Footstock<\/span>\u2019s UK launch has been supported by a range of marketing and PR activation campaigns ahead of the new season as they aim to boost their UK footprint and customer base.<\/span><\/p>\n

Targeting EPL fans, Footstock has booked 200 adverts to be aired across talkSPORT<\/strong>\u2019s radio network for a six-week duration, with its ads voiced by ex-player and broadcaster Chris Kamara<\/strong>, who was recently named as the platform\u2019s first ambassador.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further initiatives have seen Footstock revamp its mobile app with a plethora of new features, including a transformed UI and a sleeker design, all of which are aimed at enhancing its user experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

James Copeland,<\/strong> Footstock CMO, said: <\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/i>Football fans throughout the country are counting down the days till the new season gets underway and as that day draws closer, we\u2019re incredibly excited to be launching a number of new product and marketing initiatives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur new \u00a3100k free-to-enter fantasy contest is a great addition to the platform and we\u2019re hoping it goes down really well with our players, particularly as at least 100 different managers will win a prize from the overall pot!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey will also love the totally new app, which produces an enhanced user experience by offering some fantastic new features as well as an intuitive new design.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGiven talkSPORT\u2019s sizeable audience \u2013 and our brand new videos with Kammy \u2013 we\u2019re expecting to make a big impact as the new season starts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
