Homefans

Homefans is the Marktplaats or Booking.com for ‘sports experiences’. The traveling fan is demanding and desires an authentic experience. Local hosts provide that experience by sharing their passion, and earn from it.

Why does Dutch Sport Tech Fund invest in Homefans

The company

Where Homefans currently generates a turnover of 1-2M€ per year, the goal for 2025 is set at 12M€. Homefans now has 500 hosts and 8 “focus” cities (but 95 destinations); these numbers should grow to 3,000 and 18 respectively by 2025. Since 2023, Homefans has been cash flow positive. An average booking yields 450€.

The market

The sports tourism market is growing to 2 billion per year by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 17.5%. Homefans presents itself today as “the 1st specialized sports tourism platform.” Homefans aims to be the world market leader in its niche by 2026. To achieve its super growth, Homefans is working with a specialized digital marketing partner.

The expectation

At the beginning of 2025, Homefans expects to organize a Serie A round and in 2026 a Serie B round. To achieve this, they will make significant investments in marketing and human capital. While revenue is currently generated exclusively from football, Homefans will also expand into other sports.
