About Us

Our Vision

Unite sports lovers and empower them to connect, organize, and grow the sports community through innovative technology.

Our Story

Sportual was created by a sports fanatic, for sports fanatics.

I've always faced various problems with sports organization and felt there was an opportunity to utilize technology to better connect athletes and organize the sports I always loved playing, whether competitive leagues or random pickup games back in Egypt.

What began as a conceptual university project slowly became a reality years later amidst the pandemic. I completed my Computer Science degree at Arizona State University and slowly utilized the skills I learned to begin working on the project as a hobby during weekends, without much of a plan. Over time, feature by feature, the project grew into something I felt I had to release to the world -- so in 2024 I decided to productionalize it!

Our Team

Currently, we, or should I say I, am a team of one sports-addicted software developer working with the rest of the sports community, fully bootstrapped, without any venture capital. As Sportual grows, the team and vision will grow along with it, so you're interested in being a part of the team, feel free to reach out at team@sportualapp.com!
