Press Releases

Toronto, Canada, February 15, 2013 - Fantrax, the world's best fantasy sports website, is proud to introduce fantasy soccer leagues and games for Europe's 'Big Five': England's Premier League (EPL), Italy's Serie A, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga and France's Ligue 1.

"Soccer is the world's most popular sport, with a very passionate fan base, yet until now there hasn't been a fantasy sports site that allowed people to set up and manage their own leagues - only league-run contests involving millions of participants," says Lee Kleiner, President and CEO of Fantrax. "But what's missing from these massive contests is the most compelling reason for participating in fantasy sports - the social aspect. Fans enjoy setting up leagues with their friends, creating rivalries, showing off their management prowess, and of course, adjusting the rules to their own personal preferences. Competing against strangers using a fixed, arbitrary set of rules just isn't as much fun."

With more features and customizability than any other fantasy sports website, Fantrax offers the only commissioner product that allows users to tailor their experience to their preferred level of complexity. Commissioners and managers have the flexibility to create exactly the kinds of leagues they want.

"During our beta test of the current soccer season, we evaluated constructive feedback from our league managers - everyone from the most hard core experts to casual novices - to develop and refine the game so that it specifically caters to fantasy soccer users," says Kleiner.

"Next season, when we release the 'super' version, all of the same sophisticated features, options and acclaimed customer service that have made Fantrax the number one choice among serious fantasy sports fans will be available for the world's top soccer leagues."

In addition to industry-leading flexibility, Fantrax offers managers time-saving automated tools and applications that make managing leagues easy & fun. An intuitive user interface provides instant access to league standings, live scoring, stats, player news, and much more. Plus, participants who enjoy playing classic daily and weekly cash games are eligible to win hundreds of cash prizes.

"Fantrax is committed to technical innovation and responsive customer service," says Kleiner. "We're always listening to what our users want, and constantly introducing new features that aren't available on competitor sites. "Soccer is just the beginning, and we will soon be adding more global sports. Our goal is to become the world's #1 fantasy sports destination."

Promote your leagues to the pinnacle and play Big 5 Fantasy Soccer on Fantrax. Because the world's most popular sport deserves the world's best sports fantasy website.
