Fanmode, a first of its kind real-time fan engagement startup has partnered with Mumbai City FC to launch the Mumbai City FC Vibecast mobile application. The app allows fans to cheer for their team and even show support in real-time, irrespective of their location. The company has released a promotional video which shows Mumbai City FC leading goal scorer, Sunil Chhetri talk about his experience with the app.

In a first ever partnership of its kind, Mumbai City FC is pioneering a new way for fans to support their team together with sport-tech company Fanmode. In the first half of the season the fans have embraced the service and generated a whopping 9.3 million cheers for their players. However, when Mumbai City FC now goes on the road for a series of away games the service will become truly powerful as the fans can celebrate with their players, even though they are in a different part of the country.

“We are very excited at the launch of this application and would like to thank Mumbai City FC for showing incredible support” said Piyush Choudhary, General Manager, India. “Globally, Fanmode is redefining the way fans engage with their respective teams and their feedback has been phenomenal. India is gearing up to take global stage with the Indian Super League and we know this application will bring forth a new layer of interactivity for the Mumbai City FC fans.”

Fanmode has set out to make the world a stadium for sports fans. With its gesture based app, Fanmode-ready wearable devices and a custom platform developed on the principles of the Internet of Things (IOT), massively distributed real-time participation for sports fans during live events is made possible.
