1 DAY AGO -  I know most people blog as a hobby, out of passion for the sports and savvy in writing. But you can also start a football blog as a business. The difference is while the person blogging as a hobby may not put so much emphasis on monetizing the blog, he or she may be looking at just making passive income,  but sports blogging for business will require making "active" regular revenue and profit to survive. We all know that the currency for any online business is traffic. The more traffic your blog attract is a sign that you can increase the value of your business, especially if you know how to turn the traffic into customers. Pretty simple, if you offer your blog visitors what they value and are willing to pay for, then you are in money. Know the Market, Size and How to Position You BlogMost people visit football blogs for entertainment. They are looking for information to fan their passion for the sports. Others are looking for solutions or information that can Collapse

This may surprise you, but football academy business is so lucrative in Nigeria that some foreign expatriate are already taking advantage of it. Football academies are not football clubs. Football clubs are entities that employ the services of players and coaches to help meet the goals and aspirations of the club owners.

I could tell you reasons, but it is a topic for another post. On the other hand, a Football academy is a football school that provides the services of training students who are aspiring to become professional players in the future.

05/04/2021 -  How the Story of the First Woman Referee could Inspire Young Ladies to Take up A Career in FootballThe match has just ended, the crowd is wildly cheering and the players are walking out of the field, exhausted but certainly happy with their performance. In a dramatic twist a player approaches her and with lightning speed slaps the unsuspecting referee to the shock of those around her.This was the experience of Jamila Buhari, the first woman referee in Nigeria and currently a match commissioner.Q1 How did you start your football refereeing career?Well, my refereeing career started well back in the early 80s in Kano, where was I was born and bred. Then we actually didn’t have women playing football but the passion I had for football was so much that I used to travel by night following the Kano State football team anytime we qualified for the challenge Cup finals.  The matches were normally played in Lagos because that was the capital of Nigeria. I would travel with the Collapse

01/04/2021 -  The CAF Organising Committee for the Africa Cup of Nations has decided to postpone the AFCON 2021 qualification match between Sierra Leone and Benin to the next FIFA international window in June 2021.The match was scheduled to be played yesterday, 30 March 2021 in Freetown.The committee made this decision after reviewing official accounts of the incidents that stopped the match from taking place at the scheduled time.The Committee's rationale to move the dates was based on the fact that the match was to take place on the last day of the international window and, scheduling it for the following day (today, Wednesday) would have affected the players' scheduled return to their respective clubs.The committee, therefore, felt that moving the match to the next international window was the better course of action.CAF has informed the football federations of Sierra Leone and Benin about its decision and will provide further information on the rearranged fixture in due course Collapse

23/03/2021 -  You can't just wave aside a player who had scored 27 goals in 31 appearances, even if he is playing in a backyard league.No matter how you may see it, Paul Onuachu is not a fluke. And achieving such a feet in the Belgium Jupiter League tells you so much about his class. I saw Ebere (as he was called then) play for Ebiede FC when he was just 17 years old here in Nigeria and I wondered at his goal scoring exploits. He must have had a record of an average of 2 goals per game or even more. Unfortunately, these records were not included in his career goals. Perhaps, not many knows that Onuachu was the highest goal scorer in the Danish Superliga for three consecutive years in 2017, 2018 and 2019.. Indeed, the towering 2.01m giant is actually a goal scoring machine if you know how to deploy him effectively in the field of play. He found the back of the net 17 times in 30 appearances in Danish Superliga and 22 goals in 40 appearances for all competitions for Midtylland Collapse

Fans can outrightly reject your design.. They may even get superstitious to Collapse
