Football Xtra App by Tribuna.com Wins Technology Project of the Year at SBC Awards 2025
The data-driven Football Xtra app by Tribuna.com was recognized for its product-first approach to live scores, statistics, and fan engagement.
NICOSIA, CYPRUS, December 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tribuna.com, an international sports media and technology company, announced that its football super-app Football Xtra, a data-driven football statistics and live scores app, has been named Technology Project of the Year at the Sport Business Club Awards 2025, held in Kyiv.
The award recognizes Football Xtra as a product built for football fans who expect depth, structure, and speed — combining real-time match data, advanced statistics, editorial context, and community features within a single app-first experience.
Why the Jury Recognized Football Xtra
Football Xtra earned the award for its straightforward, product-first approach to football fandom. The app reflects how today’s fans actually follow the game: they track matches live, explore advanced statistics, compare performances, and discuss football in real time. Instead of replicating the logic of a traditional live-score app, Football Xtra brings live scores, in-depth football statistics, editorial insight, and fan interaction into one football app built for engaged users.
The jury of the SBC Ukraine Awards reviewed Football Xtra alongside projects in sports marketing, media, and sports technology. A panel of 103 industry professionals evaluated entries across 23 categories, focusing on practical impact, execution quality, and relevance to real-world use within the sports ecosystem. The jury favored products that deliver measurable value and are designed for long-term use rather than short-term visibility.
The award positions Football Xtra as a football statistics and live scores app with broad global coverage and a product experience aimed at fans who go beyond headlines or final scores.
Commenting on the award, Dmitry Navosha, co-founder of Tribuna.com, said:
“Technology is a core pillar of how we think about the future of sports media. Football Xtra reflects a product-driven approach: clear use cases, strong data infrastructure, and a focus on fans who want to understand the game in more detail, not just follow scores.”
Oleksiy Braga, CEO of the Sport & Business Club, commented on the purpose of the awards:
“The sports industry needs a dedicated platform where clubs, federations, brands, and media organizations can showcase their work and receive meaningful recognition. Sports is a vast industry, yet there is a strong demand for real results and success stories from peers.
Our goal is to highlight the strongest Ukrainian cases and motivate the local sports market to keep moving forward. The award categories focus on current trends in sports marketing — a field that remains underestimated in many respects. By recognizing best-in-class projects, we aim to support initiatives that deserve to be seen as industry benchmarks.”
Editorial Rigor Meets Product Innovation
The two awards highlighted different sides of Tribuna.com’s work. Football Xtra received the Technology Project of the Year for its data-driven product focus. At the same time, Tribuna.com’s newsroom was recognized with the Sports Journalist of the Year award, presented to Stanislav Oroshkevych for investigative and in-depth sports reporting.
Commenting on the recognition, Navosha added:
“For many in the media industry, Tribuna.com still looks like an unusual hybrid — and we are comfortable with that. We invest heavily in technology and product development, while relying on the intuition, boldness, and journalistic rigor of our editorial teams. Our products set high standards for football data and user experience, and our journalism aims to investigate, explain, and shape the broader sports conversation.”
He noted that both awards reflect a single strategic direction:
“Football Xtra’s Technology Project of the Year award, alongside the Sports Journalist of the Year recognition, confirms that technology and journalism are not competing priorities for us. They are equally important pillars of how Tribuna.com develops and how it sees the future of sports media.”
