Many top football clubs are turning to mobile connectivity to engage fans and boost revenue—PSG has its own SIM card, AS Roma offers a club-branded eSIM, and Manchester United has partnered for mobile services in Asia. Now, Antalyaspor is joining the trend with the launch of Antalya Cell, a club-branded eSIM app.

BNESIM, one of the eSIM technology providers, has signed a four-year strategic agreement with Turkish Süper Lig club Antalyaspor to launch Antalya Cell, the club’s official eSIM app powered by BNESIM. The service will give fans, travelers, and tourism partners seamless global mobile connectivity in more than 200 destinations worldwide.

The signing ceremony at the Atilla Vehbi Konuk Facilities brought together Sinan Boztepe (President, Antalyaspor) and Kemal Can Tuncer (Director at Skysim, BNESIM’s exclusive partner in Türkiye), underscoring the project’s strong local foundation.

Combining BNESIM’s award-winning platform with Antalyaspor’s passionate community, Antalya Cell delivers an intuitive, club-branded international mobile solution that empowers users to stay connected while supporting their favorite team.

The project also extends beyond football: Antalyaspor will work with the city’s travel agencies and hotels so visitors can activate low-cost data plans at check-in, ensuring friction-free connectivity throughout their stay on the Turkish Riviera. Whether following a match abroad or simply exploring the globe, users can now enjoy affordable data plans, zero roaming fees, and instant activation—directly from the app.

“We’re proud to join forces with Antalyaspor to deliver a service that connects fans far beyond the stadium,” said Luca Mattei, CEO of BNESIM. “Antalya Cell reflects the growing intersection of sport and technology, and the power of seamless connectivity to bring people closer together.”

Sinan Boztepe, President of Antalyaspor, added:

“This four-year partnership secures a new, reliable revenue stream for our club while offering real value to our supporters and the millions of visitors who arrive in Antalya every year. Launching Antalya Cell with tourism-sector partners will showcase our city and our badge wherever people travel.”

Kemal Can Tuncer, Director at Skysim (BNESIM Exclusive Partner in Türkiye), said:

“BNESIM’s border-breaking technology already serves millions around the world. By uniting that technology with Antalyaspor’s spirit of passion and determination, we’re creating a solution that will amplify the fan experience and add tangible value to Antalya’s tourism ecosystem.”

Availability

The Antalya Cell eSIM App will launch soon on iOS and Android. Users will be able to browse and activate local or regional data plans, top up at any time, and monitor usage through a simple, secure interface—all under the trusted Antalyaspor brand.

Final thoughts

The launch of Antalya Cell reflects a broader trend in sports marketing where football clubs are evolving into lifestyle and tech brands, expanding their reach beyond the pitch. As clubs increasingly look for sustainable revenue streams and deeper fan engagement, services like eSIMs offer a practical and symbolic extension of their identity—connecting fans wherever they are in the world. We’re witnessing a shift from merchandise and matchday experiences to digital utilities that add real value to fans’ everyday lives.

With travel bouncing back and digital nomadism on the rise, eSIM partnerships like this one will become more common—especially in tourism-heavy regions like Antalya. Forward-thinking clubs like Antalyaspor are not just embracing innovation; they’re helping shape the future of mobile connectivity by turning it into a branded, emotional touchpoint.
