About

The team driving YouTopia Sports forward.

YouTopia Sports is a fan engagement platform that connects fans with rights holders and brands, turning engagement into measurable growth.

The story

It started with general admission.

Before YouTopia, Sebastien Bellin was general manager of Spirou Charleroi, a professional basketball club in Belgium.

The VIP seats and business lounges sold easily. Thousands of general-admission seats were the hard part.

That gap led him to the idea of a virtual stadium: fans choose their team’s stadium, play simple games that each activate a sponsor, and earn YouCoins to spend on tickets, merch and experiences at the real stadium.
