The Journey of Grinta
Grinta is possibly the first and definitely one of the few season-long fantasy football websites offering Egyptian and Saudi Leagues along with English Premier and UEFA leagues. Founders Imran Hasan and Nadine Samara felt like if there’s a considerable fan following of English and UEFA Champions league in Middle East, there must be fans of Egyptian and Saudi leagues in other parts of the world. They decided to build a single fantasy football platform that would offer games based on all the four leagues.
Can a single season-long fantasy football platform unite players worldwide?
Our team was excited to execute this ambition as we were confident that users would be thrilled to find the four leagues on one platform along with season-long options. Founders’ vision further inspired us to create an application that would not only provide amazing features of playing and competing but also keep them updated with latest news and events related to the respective leagues.
Client's challenges & our solutions
We want to bring together fans around the world who would love to play any league they want on a single fantasy sports platform.
We will build a multi-lingual fantasy football platform that would allow users to join multiple leagues in a season-long format.
We would like to have some features that would make this platform stand out.
You may choose to have any one or all of the three season-long verticals – standard, dynasty or keeper leagues. We can customize private leagues, add auto-substitution, weekly ranking system etc to make it a unique offering.
We need to launch the application with a massive marketing campaign and on all three platforms at the same time (Website, iOS and Android).
We would build it on our framework vFantasy that would allow us to develop the app quickly for the launch.
I want try out Egyptian and Saudi leagues on a fantasy platform but I also want to play English Premier League.
I want to compete with other users with deep knowledge of Egyptian, Saudi or Champions leagues, so I want options that would enable this kind of competition.
I want to join or leave a league with classic scoring at any point during the season.
Team Vinfotech aimed at creating a rewarding and exciting season-long fantasy sports platform for users around the world. We leveraged from our six-year-long industry experience as we shortlisted the set of schemes needed for developing a season-long application that would keep the users returning.
