About Us

The fanzania journey

How it all started

In 2007, while the cricket World Cup was underway in West Indies, we played our first fantasy cricket league. What began as a way to recover from India’s early departure from the tournament, had become a part of our lives at the end of those two months. Over the next 10 years, fantasy sports brought the five of us together, several times in a year. Our passion for fantasy sports only grew as we played almost every big cricket and football tournament that came our way. Fantasy sports had become not just a source of fun and entertainment but, more importantly, had become an integral part of our lives (something our spouses have to live with now).


Why we started fanzania

We have played fantasy sports on several websites, and we thoroughly enjoyed playing on each of these. However, as our passion for fantasy sports grew over the years, we craved for more interesting features. We eagerly hoped for new and exciting features to appear in these websites but our patience eventually ran out. Last year, in 2018, the five of us decided to build our very own fantasy sports app - fanzania was born.

What we want to build

At fanzania, we have a clear vision that is born from our very own needs as fantasy players. This vision is to provide fantasy sports players a truly enriching and fun filled experience through innovative playing features. We want to raise the bar for fantasy sports platforms globally, and we want to do this by passionately bringing to life the best of our ideas. We have a lot more to our story. If you would like to know more or have any suggestions, give us a shout here. We always love a nice chat. To wrap up, we would like to say something cheesy to get your attention - join fanzania today with your family, friends or colleagues, and improve your bonding with your near and dear ones. It’s about time to play some smart fantasy sports now.


fanzania is owned and operated by Yorker Games LLP.
