List Your Business. Attract Walking Fans.
Mexican small businesses risk missing out on up to 10 billion pesos in World Cup revenue because they lack the marketing and operational readiness to capture 'maximum proximity' spending from fans and visitors.
FanCorner lets proximity businesses create special 'Fan Deals' and experiences that appear on a simple map for World Cup visitors. Businesses manage availability, receive bookings via WhatsApp, and get paid directly. Visitors discover authentic local spots within walking distance of stadiums and fan zones.
