Saudi sports gaming startup ElGoat has raised US$266,000 in its Seed funding round through Trigon. The company is now valued at $2.66 million.
ElGoat was started in March 2026 by Mohammed Almunajem. It is a platform where football fans can use their knowledge to make predictions.
Instead of just watching matches, users can predict results like match winners, exact scores, and goal scorers.
The platform is free to use and does not involve betting. Users earn points for correct predictions and can compete on global leaderboards or with friends in private leagues.
The platform includes big football leagues like the English Premier League and the Saudi Pro League.
It uses a scoring system that rewards users not just for simple predictions, but also for deeper football knowledge.
ElGoat is launching at a time when more people in the Middle East want interactive sports experiences.
This demand is growing because many young users prefer mobile apps and enjoy engaging with digital content.
The new funding will help the company improve its product, attract more users, and expand into new markets.
