In a bid to enhance and develop our event experience, we are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Fanbase, an innovative ticketing and fan-engagement technology platform.

This three-year partnership aims to strategically enhance the fan experience in Kent football, making events such as our Kent County Cup Finals, Kent Grassroots Football Awards, conferences, and workshops more interactive, accessible, and memorable for all involved. The partnership will commence on Wednesday, 29 January 2025.

This partnership will:

• Create a seamless ticketing experience for all, providing stakeholders with a secure and hassle-free platform to purchase tickets for Kent FA-led events. 
• The innovative platform allows stakeholders to enjoy personalised experiences, from programmes to special partner offers.

Darryl Haden, CEO of Kent FA, shared his excitement about the partnership: “We are delighted to partner with Fanbase. This partnership represents a pivotal step in our commitment to create greater stakeholder experiences at events such as our Kent County Cup Finals, Kent Grassroots Workforce Awards and various conferences and workshops. This partnership will allow us to bring the Kent football community closer to the action whilst ensuring a seamless journey from ticket purchase to whistle.”

Jerome McCarthy, from Fanbase adds: “Our mission at Fanbase is to empower all grassroots, semi-pro and ambitious pro clubs with the digital power of the top 1%, which is why we're delighted to be partnering with the Kent FA. We're dedicated to supporting non-league clubs, helping them to engage fans and drive revenue, so we're looking forward to continuing our work with clubs within the Kent County. I'm confident the learnings we have from working with 100+ non-league clubs in the UK will help us support Kent clubs as much as possible over the next months and years.”

This partnership fully aligns with the new Kent FA Strategy for 2024-2028 to grow the game and create unique opportunities for stakeholders alike.
