ÖFB App

Austrian Football Association

Overview

The ÖFB App is the digital home of Austrian football – for fans, players, and clubs. It combines news, live scores, tables, videos, live streams, and personalized notifications in a modern user experience.

Ahoi Kapptn! was responsible for the complete redevelopment – from the concept and technical foundation to the relaunch. With millions of monthly visits and over a hundred thousand active users, the app is now one of the leading sports platforms in the country.

Strategy for a digital ecosystem

In collaboration with the ÖFB, a new platform strategy was developed that unites all digital touchpoints – app, web, and ÖFB TV. The goal was to bring together information, live streams, and interactions into a central experience.

User Focus & Insights

Analyses and user interviews clearly showed: Football fans want more than just results – they expect a personal experience. The new ÖFB app was therefore consistently designed for customization. Users can select their favorite clubs, competitions, and players, and receive tailored news, push notifications, and livestream recommendations.

Design & Brand Identity

The new design consistently transfers the ÖFB's brand identity into the digital realm – reduced, dynamic, and sporty. The look & feel should authentically represent Austrian football and combine emotion with functionality.

Develop

App Development

The app has been completely redeveloped with a focus on performance, stability, and real-time experience. A native architecture ensures smooth transitions and precise rendering even under heavy data load on game days.

Backend & Data Integration

Results, tables, push notifications, and live tickers are provided in real-time via high-performance interfaces. A scalable backend ensures that everything runs smoothly, even during large tournaments or cup matches.

ÖFB TV & Livestreams

A core component of the app is ÖFB TV. Here, games, highlights, and interviews are streamed directly—from the national team to the ÖFB Cup. Ahoi Kapptn! ensured the technical integration and an optimized video player experience for mobile use.

Evolve

Steadily increasing engagement

Since the relaunch, the app records several million visits per month. It has established itself as the leading digital platform of Austrian football – with steadily growing usage and community.

Ongoing feature development

New features such as Player of the Match voting, social media graphics, or a survey tool were added later. The goal is a seamless integration of live data, content, and interaction.

Digital Future of Football

The platform grows with the association: ÖFB TV, data services, and fan engagement features form a flexible foundation for future innovations – from exclusive formats to interactive community elements.
