Sports bring people together, but they also highlight unique stories of fandom that make every season unforgettable. With the launch of Sofascore Season 2024 (about which you can read here), we’ve uncovered some surprising, funny, and downright impressive stats about how our users interacted with their favorite teams, players, and matches this year.
From record-breaking visits to team profiles to once-in-a-lifetime events, these fun facts prove that sports fans are one of a kind.
The Most-Visited Match By a Single Fan
Imagine opening a match profile 1,571 times—that’s exactly what one Sofascore user did for the UEFA Conference League final between Olympiacos FC and Fiorentina on May 29 at the OPAP arena in Athens.
The historic night ended with Ayoub El Kaabi’s extra-time winner in the 116th minute, securing Olympiacos their first-ever European club title. It also marked the first continental trophy for a team outside the Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A, or Premier League since 2011.
The match was already thrilling, but this user took it to the next level. Were they a die-hard Olympiacos fan celebrating history, or perhaps a Fiorentina supporter hoping for a comeback? Either way, their dedication made this game the most-opened event in Sofascore this year.
The Most Loyal Team Fan: Bahia, 27,000 Profile Visits
While most fans check their favorite team’s profile to stay updated, one Sofascore user took loyalty to another level, visiting the Bahia profile 27,000 times in 2024.
Yes, you read that right – 27,000 times. That’s about 74 visits per day!
Bahia, competing in the Brazilian Serie A, finished the season in eighth place. Despite their mid-table position, they inspired one of the most passionate displays of fandom we’ve ever seen.
If your crush ever says you’re too obsessed, just remind them of this Bahia superfan.
Lionel Messi: The Most-Loved Player by a Single User
At 37 years old, Lionel Messi continues to inspire fans worldwide, and one Sofascore user made their admiration crystal clear. This dedicated fan opened Messi’s profile 2,400 times in 2024 – an average of more than seven times a day.
Despite finishing third overall among most-visited players, Messi was the most-viewed player by a single user. His incredible season included a stellar campaign in the MLS and another memorable run in the Copa América.
While this record doesn’t quite reach Bahia levels, it’s proof that Messi still holds a special place in the hearts of millions.
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as this fan loves La Pulga.
