At Foot Africa, our writers aren’t just writers — they’re passion-fueled investigators, storytelling tacticians, and proud football romantics. With diverse backgrounds and sharp minds, they form a squad that’s obsessed with digging deeper than the headlines. If a story is hiding in a dusty training pitch or behind a cryptic WhatsApp message, they’ll find it.

We don’t follow the noise — we create it. Our network stretches far and wide, with eyes on the ground and ears in the right places. That’s how we bring you exclusive scoops, human stories, and the kind of insights you won’t find anywhere else.

From rising stars to forgotten legends, from tactical breakdowns to locker room whispers, our writers mix depth with wit and sprinkle every piece with a uniquely African flavor. Most importantly, everything we do, we do it with you in mind — our loyal, curious, and football-hungry readers.

This is more than a newsroom. It’s a movement. And you’re part of it.

We care about your privacy
