FC Bayern M nchen selects Omnigon to develop new suite of mobile apps posted: 25/08/2016
Ahead of the start of the Bundesliga season, they are now available for iOS and Android devices
FC Bayern M nchen, the most successful club in German football history, has selected Omnigon, one of the world's leading digital services firms in sports and a subsidiary of Infront Sports & Media, to design and develop its suite of all-new iOS and Android smartphone and tablet apps. The apps, released in both English and German, launched in advance of the upcoming 2016/17 season.
Features of the apps include a Match Center with full match statistics, scores, fixtures and tables (from the Bundesliga, the UEFA Champions League and the DFB Cup), news and photo galleries. There is also a Squad page with detailed statistics and full profiles of all Bayern players.
Features soon to be added to the app will include personalisation that will allow fans to follow their favorite players, polls, sweepstakes, and the ability to deliver content based on fan context - whether they are on the go, watching on TV, or attending the live match. Fans will also be able to tap into Bayern's TV hub to access club highlights and post-match interviews. Additionally, there will be a Webradio', which allows the millions of passionate Bayern fans worldwide to listen to all matches.
We are very happy with our app partner Omnigon , said Stefan Mennerich, FC Bayern M nchen's Director Media, Digital and Communications. We chose to work with them because they are the absolute benchmark for app-providers in the sports industry, and they have maintained that standard throughout the whole project with us. Both the Android as well as the iOS app have been well-received among our fans, and we are proud to have taken the next step of our digitalisation process together.
Omnigon is thrilled to have been chosen by Bayern M nchen to launch their suite of new mobile and tablet apps , said David Nugent, Chief Commercial Officer, Omnigon. We've worked very closely with the Bayern digital team and formed a real partnership. Bayern has one of the largest fan bases in the world so we understood how important it was to create an experience that would resonate all over the globe. We're excited the passion our team brought to this product will be in the hands of FC Bayern fans worldwide.
Bora Nikolic, Omnigon's Chief Creative Officer, said: The reimagined smartphone and tablet apps focused on three key design principles. The apps needed to be elegant and simple to use. They needed to let the passion and emotion of the on-pitch action and of the supporters come through, all while surfacing relevant and useful content to them. Above all else, however, is they were designed to foster a connection and build a relationship between the club and its fans, regardless of their location.
Bayern M nchen has won 26 national titles and 18 national cups (DFB Cup), most recently during the 2015/16 season. Bayern kicks off their title defence on Friday, 26 August against SV Werder Bremen.
