Discover how Foot Africa grew from a 2009 passion project into a top source for African football news. Meet the team and explore future plans.
From Passion Project to Media Hub
The journey of what is now a central platform for African football news began in December 2009. Originally known to its early followers as Star Africa and later as Orange Football Club, the platform went through significant transformations.
Over more than a decade, the Foot-africa.com portal has reached millions of football fans across the continent, offering consistent coverage and building a dedicated community. This evolution reflects a lasting commitment to African football – growing from a niche news source into a full-fledged African football media hub.
A Platform for Community and Information
The core objective of Foot Africa extends beyond delivering news updates. It is built as a platform that brings together African football fans in a dynamic and engaging space. The community is highly active on social media, making it easy to connect, exchange ideas, and stay updated on the latest in African football.
While its focus is on African football, the platform also caters to a global audience interested in the continent’s leagues, teams, and players. The goal is to provide a space where supporters can stay informed, share their perspectives, and engage with a community that shares their passion for the sport, reinforcing the active and vocal nature of football fandom in Africa.
Expanding the Editorial Team
To support this mission, the platform relies on correspondents across Africa and beyond. The editorial team is constantly growing and now consists of 12 dedicated members. Recently, three new authors joined to strengthen its coverage and provide fresh views.
Foot Africa’s core group is supported by contributors from Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Algeria, Morocco, and other football-driven journalists and content writers, ensuring a wide and diverse lens on the game.
The Future Vision: An All-in-One Resource
Looking ahead, Foot Africa is preparing for an important new stage. A major update in development will include comprehensive football statistics, allowing readers to access detailed data by league, club, and player.
This move aims to turn Foot Africa into an all-in-one African football resource, combining news, analysis, and in-depth statistics in a single place. By offering both editorial insights and performance metrics, the platform wants to be a central hub for anyone passionate about football.
The team is also encouraging readers to share feedback and ideas for further improvements. Contacts are available directly on the site, https://foot-africa.com/ and communication is open across social media platforms.
The New Season and Beyond
Foot Africa has grown from a small idea into a go-to source for African football, showing how passion and teamwork can transform the way the game is covered. With the new season underway, fans can look forward to fresh stories, match analysis, and exciting updates.
