Based in Berlin, Germany, Matchday Nutrition specializes in functional, science-based nutritional supplements designed for soccer players. Founded in 2018 by Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky, the company targets both professional and amateur athletes. The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model, primarily selling its products through its own online store, bolstered by a strong social media presence.
The company's core mission is to enhance player performance, accelerate regeneration, and minimize injury risk through specially formulated nutritional products. Matchday Nutrition states that its formulations are developed in close collaboration with nutritionists and sports scientists to meet the specific physical and mental demands of soccer. Their product line, which includes items for energy, hydration, strength, and recovery, features electrolytes and amino acids. The company claims that 70% of on-field performance is dependent on correct nutrition.
In May 2025, Matchday Nutrition secured over one million euros in a financing round through the Companisto business angel network. This capital is intended for international expansion within Europe, brand development, and product range extension. The company has stated it serves over 60,000 customers, including players from the top German leagues, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2.
