Flashscore tracks 1.99M UK users monitoring England v DR Congo World Cup match
The sports tracking platform's engagement numbers highlight growing digital sports consumption, though the story carries no crypto connection
Flashscore, the live sports scores platform owned by Czech firm Livesport, recorded approximately 1.99 million UK users tracking the England vs. DR Congo match during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match took place in Atlanta as part of the tournament’s round of 32.
What Flashscore actually does
Flashscore provides live scores, statistics, and news across multiple sports through its mobile app, available on all major platforms.
The platform is operated by Livesport s.r.o., a Prague-based company founded in 2006 by Martin Hajek and Jiri Mares. The company has been on an expansion tear, acquiring Spain’s BeSoccer in 2024 to strengthen its foothold in European markets.
The sports and crypto intersection that isn’t here
Flashscore has not documented any integration with blockchain technology. There are no tokens associated with the platform or this specific match event. The story is purely about app engagement metrics during the World Cup.
Why sports engagement data still matters for crypto investors
Nearly 2 million users in a single country tracking a single match in real time represents an enormous addressable market. Companies like Chiliz, which powers fan tokens for major football clubs, have long argued that this kind of engaged sports audience is ripe for tokenized experiences.
Fan tokens have had a rocky history, with many trading well below their initial hype-cycle peaks. The 1.99 million UK users glued to their phones during England’s World Cup match aren’t thinking about tokens or wallets.
