Brentford FC 2026 World Cup Hub

#6244

The Brentford app is the ultimate World Cup digital companion for Bees fans.

With the World Cup underway, we worked with Brentford FC to ship a beautiful new Tournament hub in their club app, built around the four Bees participating. We acquired the stats from Opta, all the stats that fans could ever want. With 4 Brentford players in the World Cup, we knew that it was really important to turn the Brentford app into THE digital destinations for Bees supporters.

Player tracker. Nation tracker. Tournament tracker. Live match stats. Live player stats. Live commentary. Predictor. Daily recaps. Live catch-up summaries. Arcade-style mini-games. The lot.

And we wanted to build it with you, for you. It is an absolute pleasure to work with someone who cares about the digital user experience and product design in such a hands-on way.

Your collaborative spirit shows. This Tournament hub in the Brentford app is living proof.
