Why become a Founding Partner now?
Lock in launch pricing forever. These rates will never be this low again. As traffic grows toward the tournament, prices will increase — Founding Partners keep their original rate.
Permanent recognition. Every Founding Partner gets a permanent badge across the site. Your brand is linked to Match Marker's origin story.
The World Cup is coming. June 2026 will drive massive search traffic for match info, tickets, fan zones, and travel. Getting in early means your brand is already placed when the wave arrives.
Audience
We're honest about where we are. Match Marker launched recently and our audience is still small. We're building toward the 2026 World Cup with 200+ SEO-optimised pages targeting high-intent fans searching for tickets, travel, and match info. Founding Partner pricing reflects the current stage — not inflated projections.
