The scoreboard for football clubs that pays for itself through sponsors
LemonScore turns an LED wall on the sideline into a score display with advertising slots your club sells itself. Eight sponsor slots at CHF 900 per season pay for a CHF 14'000 LED wall after the third season. Developed in Switzerland, controlled from a phone, support by email. Run your own numbers
Demo for Windows and macOS, 15 minutes per run, restart as often as you like.
Does this sound familiar?
Three sentences we hear again and again from committee members, match operations managers and sponsorship leads.
- “We still have the old digit display.”
- Or the chalkboard at the clubhouse. Score and time are there, nothing else. There is no room for sponsors and no reason for spectators to look.
- “Our sponsors want more visibility.”
- The pitch-side boards have been the same for years. Companies ask for something that stands out: moving, bright and visible at the moment of a goal.
- “We have no budget for an LED wall.”
- A 3 x 2 m LED wall costs around CHF 12'000 to 15'000 all-in. The club account cannot cover that, so the project stays in the drawer.
How the scoreboard works with LemonScore
Three steps from download to the first sponsor contract, with no programming and no special console.
- 01
Download the software
Install LemonScore on a Windows or Mac laptop and start with the demo. Club logo, teams and colours are set up in minutes.
- 02
Connect the LED wall
Via HDMI to the LED processor of the wall. LemonScore additionally drives a Novastar controller directly, for brightness for example. The score runs full screen.
- 03
Sell sponsor slots
Upload logos, set the rotation, build the half-time playlist. Every slot is a separate offer: first to your existing pitch-side sponsors as an add-on, then to new companies.
What an LED wall running LemonScore brings your club
The scoreboard shows more than the score. It becomes an advertising space the club markets itself, and a matchday presence that reaches spectators and sponsors.
- New revenue
- Rotating banners, goal animation with sponsor logo, match clock sponsor and half-time spots are individually sellable slots that the club sells itself.
- A stadium look
- Score, match clock, added time and animations in your club colours. Spectators look up, sponsors get seen.
- One volunteer is enough
- The announcer or match operations manager runs the scoreboard from a phone or tablet. Advertising rotates automatically, the goal animation appears with every goal entered.
- In the live stream too
- The same software overlays the score and sponsors on your live stream via OBS, extra reach for your advertising partners.
What a slot brings in at your level is on the scoreboard advertising page; which grants can cover part of the wall is on the funding page.
When is the scoreboard paid for?
Guide values for lower amateur leagues with 200 to 400 spectators. The default assumes 8 slots sold; adjust the figures to your club.
Result (guide value)
- Revenue per season
- CHF 7'200
- After running costs: CHF 6'700
- Payback
- 2.1 seasons
- Paid off after season 3
- Surplus after 5 seasons
- CHF 19'500
All figures are guide values, not a guarantee. Logic: revenue = slots x price; payback = investment divided by revenue minus running costs.
The LemonScore licence is charged separately: advertising banners and playlists are part of the Professional plan, CHF 100 per month billed annually (CHF 1'200 per year), less than two slots sold.
