1. FC Köln fans can track match predictions and win team merchandise through the official club application, according to club announcements. The digital feature, integrated into the mobile platform in cooperation with Telekom, allows supporters to forecast match outcomes, starting lineups, and opening goalscorers ahead of competitive fixtures.
How the Match Predictor Works in the FC App
Participants submit four predictions before each competitive fixture, earning up to 120 points per match, according to 1. FC Köln guidelines. The forecasting window requires users to submit their starting lineup predictions up to 90 minutes before kickoff, while all other match forecasts remain open until the referee starts the match. Once prediction deadlines pass, users cannot alter their submissions. The points system compares user accuracy against other club supporters on monthly, first-half, and full-season leaderboards.
Prizes and Season-Long Prediction Challenges
Monthly points leaders secure a current-season FC jersey, while the winners of the hin-and-rückrunde (first and second half of the season) standings receive two VIP tickets alongside a stadium tour, according to the club. Additionally, supporters can submit ten season-long predictions—such as final league position, top Bundesliga goalscorer, and player with the most minutes played—until September 12. Participants who successfully answer the highest number of seasonal questions collect a signed FC jersey following the conclusion of the campaign.
Live Broadcast Options via MagentaTV
Supporters can monitor their match predictions in real-time by watching live fixtures through the MegaSport option on MagentaTV, which bundles WOW, DAZN, and MagentaSport access. According to Telekom promotional details, the combined sports package is available for 59 euros per month. Comprehensive terms of participation and data privacy regulations are published directly on the official 1. FC Köln digital channels.
