MT Melsungen: Fans vote for their Man of the Match for the first time!

On Sunday, December 5th, 2025, an exciting handball game is on the program in Melsungen. MT Melsungen welcomes HSG Wetzlar at 4:30 p.m. and fans can look forward to a premiere: For the first time, the “Man of the Match” will be chosen via a vote in the new fan app. That reports MT Melsungen.

The fans' voice counts! Anyone who has downloaded the free MT fan app can choose their favorite from the MT squad immediately after kick-off. The participants have enough time; Voting is open until shortly before the end of the game. A special treat: Anyone who votes has the chance to win two tickets for the next home game on December 14th against Bergischer HC. The winners will be notified early next week.

Interactive fan experiences

But that's not all. The raffle for a matchworn jersey is also moving into the next round. Tickets cost 3 euros and can be purchased until halftime of the game. The winning number will be announced in the second round via the video dice. This shows that the interactive fan engagement culture is becoming increasingly important.

This trend is supported by dedicated sports and entertainment apps that are revolutionizing the way fans support their favorite teams and athletes. Platforms like those run by Nate Llorando, CEO of JOOLT Fan App, offer more authentic experiences than traditional social media, which is often influenced by bots and fake accounts. This promotes a more direct and controlled interaction between the athletes and their fans, like Forbes describes.

More and more sports organizations and artists are developing their own platforms to get closer to their most loyal fans. Interactive features such as live streaming, virtual meet-and-greets and gamification not only make the experience more exciting, but also much more personal. At MT Melsungen, fans will soon be able to enter into a dialogue using these tools.

Opportunities for fans and the club

With its app, MT Melsungen focuses on modern fan engagement that meets the current needs of viewers and creates new opportunities for interaction. Enthusiastic supporters can now not only cast their votes, but also enter for the chance to win unique prizes such as tickets and jerseys. This shows that the connection between fans and the team is becoming ever closer, and MT Melsungen is reacting to this trend with good instinct.

These innovations are not only exciting for the fans, they also offer numerous advantages for the club itself. Engagement with fans that goes beyond the usual level can help increase loyalty and enthusiasm. An interesting future for handball in Hesse!
