We are Transfermarkt, the leading digital football platform for facts, statistics, and a vibrant community. What started as a hobby project in 2000 by Matthias Seidel has grown into one of the world's largest and most influential football databases. Our passion for the beautiful game drives us to provide the most comprehensive and accurate information on players, clubs, transfers, and market values. We believe in the power of community, and much of our extensive database is built and maintained by dedicated football fans and data scouts from all over the globe. This collaborative, 'by fans, for fans' approach is the heart of our platform, ensuring a depth and breadth of data that is unparalleled. We offer a space where millions of football enthusiasts can connect, discuss the latest rumours in our famous 'Rumour Mill', and share their knowledge and passion.
Our mission is to be the ultimate destination for every football fan worldwide, a place where they can live out their passion. We are constantly innovating and expanding our offerings, which now include detailed statistics, news, videos, and even a platform for player agents. In 2008, we joined forces with Axel Springer SE, a partnership that has allowed us to grow and professionalize while maintaining our core identity. Today, we operate in over a dozen languages and reach millions of users every month. We are proud of our journey from a small German website to a global player in the football world. We are a team of dedicated, football-mad individuals who strive every day to make Transfermarkt even better, always guided by our maxim: '...always better!'. We are committed to fostering a culture of open discussion, innovation, and responsibility, where every team member can contribute their ideas and help shape the future of football information.
