This Club Needed To Attract Fans To Its Games. So It Made A Dating App

What if you're at a soccer match and looking for that special someone? There's an app for that.

Evidently there are Getafe fans who are lonely.

Getafe, which has a staduim capacity of 17,700 and only fills about half that, good for dead liast in La Liga, attendance-wise, introduced something to help its lonely fans who sit in a half-empty stadium to watch a middling La Liga side: a dating app.

If you choose to spend your weekends and your money in a half-empty stadium watching a middling La Liga side, you might be lonely, so this just might be a good idea from Getafe. 

It's called "Getafinder" and it matches users up with other users in close proximity of Getafe half-empty stadium using a Tinder-esque "swipe-left, swipe-right" system.

There's even a commercial! check it out for yourself. 

Conclusions drawn: Getafe is weird, La Liga is weird, Spain is weird, Europe is weird, soccer is weird.
