Dugout Executive Chairman, Elliot Richardson, commented:

«We’re really excited to welcome PAOK FC to the Dugout platform. We’ve seen unprecedented growth since we launched and the signing of our first Greek club is another example of that.

The game today is truly global and fans don’t just want to watch matches in their own country – they want to follow their favourite clubs and players across the world. That’s what Dugout offers – unrivalled access for fans to see behind the scenes of the clubs and into the lives of the players. Thanks to Dugout, fans can now access the best content from PAOK FC, both on and off the pitch, for the first time».

Dugout works with its partners to create high-quality, original content, which includes videos from clubs exclusive to Dugout, lifestyle and personal updates from players, and original video series featuring ball skills and tricks from players that can’t be seen anywhere else.

The trend of following multiple clubs – on average 4.6 clubs per person – was revealed in polling of 25 major football countries. The research also found that fans now “support” individual players, meaning that these stars help grow the global fan base of every team they play for during their career.
