Overview

Tonsser runs a community-driven football app that helps young players track performance, get feedback, and showcase their talents so they can gain recognition from scouts and professional clubs. The app supports match tracking, player statistics, and features like Player of the Match voting, building a player profile used by clubs. It also facilitates trials, with hundreds of players going on trial via the platform. The product works by users recording matches, updating stats, and engaging with the community to receive feedback and visibility, including premium subscription features, advertising, and partnerships for revenue. Tonsser differentiates itself with a large, global user base (over 1 million players in 10 countries) and a community-driven, data-backed path to trials and contracts, tying performance data to opportunities. The goal is to make it easier for young football talents to develop, be noticed, and secure professional opportunities.
