History

The company was founded under the name Motain by Lucas von Cranach in Bochum in 2008[5]. In 2009 Von Cranach launched iLiga (THE football app abroad)[6]. Following a move to the new HQ in Berlin, Motain and its products (iLiga and THE football app) were merged under the name of OneFootball[7]. On September 7 2016 OneFootball was featured in the Apple keynote in San Francisco for the release of watchOS 3[8]. The management team, which included Silke Kuisle as CFO[9], expanded in 2018 with the arrival of the ex-Puma CEO, Franz Koch, as the new COO and the SPORT1MEDIA ex-CEO Patrick Fisher, as the new CBO[10].
