Culture
We believe that sports isn’t just about watching a game — although that can be tons of fun. We think it’s really about connecting with people and communities, expanding your horizons, and just maybe experiencing a moment that they’ll talk about for generations.
History
As it is the true sport of the world, the history of soccer (football) is immense, complicated, and rather all-encompassing. We provide some background on the foundation of the game and important events that have occurred.
Structure
The structure of world soccer is complex and multi-layered. We introduce you to the leagues and competitions, explain promotion and relegation, and provide context to the "hardware" and titles the clubs are playing for.
