Christer Nordvik launched FotMob in 2004 after struggling to follow his local team SK Brann from a distance. Despite initial challenges, he and his brother developed the app, which became a notable platform for football fans. Balancing work and family, Nordvik coded part-time for nine years. A significant endorsement during the 2010 FIFA World Cup boosted user numbers. The app gained remarkable traction in 2022 when user count surged from nine million to 15 million, attributed to features like Apple's 'Live Activities'.
"After returning home to Bergen, he teamed up with his brother Tommy to create the first version of FotMob - now one of the world's leading football platforms with more than 20 million monthly active users."
"During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a shoutout from The New York Times, which called FotMob the go-to Android app for 'simple scores and stats', helped the platform welcome a flurry of new users."
