SportsHero’s (SHO) localised football app OlahBola has reached a milestone four million new unique users.

“We continue to be very pleased with the continued rapid user growth on our OlahBola platform,” said SportsHero CEO Tom Lapping.

“The response to our first Esports practice match was exciting and significantly exceeded our expectations. We now eagerly look forward to today’s launch of our first ever Esports Series. Being able to expand and enrich our OlahBola offering to our existing.”
