Footbo.com, (http://footbo.com) the fastest-growing online community for football (soccer) fans around the world, now has a user-generated section devoted to amateur football players. This new section of the social network enables amateur teams and players to create and manage their own player and team profiles.

This new feature will allow users to make their own mark on football history, providing them with the tools to manage their own amateur teams while connecting with other fans and community members, said Mani Honigstein, CEO of Footbo.

Footbo launched a Beta version in June 2008 and provides an elaborate set of football-specific features and applications, delivered in a social networking environment. Since its launch, more than 200,000 football fans have joined the community.

Footbo for Amateurs

The amateur area allows amateur players to create their own player profiles (including their player card with stats and info) as well as their own football biography, blog and media section, which allows players to share photos and videos of their game highlights.

We want to provide something for every football player, whether they play in the Park, Five-A-Side, Beach football or in a local city or neighborhood league, said Honigstein.

Footbo members can even become fans of amateur players and stay updated on a player's activities and news. Like with the professional player pages, members of the Footbo community are invited to add relevant articles, blog posts, images and video to a player's biography.

Footbo for Teams

The platform doubles as an organizational tool, enabling team members to communicate with each other and coordinate team events such as practice sessions and upcoming games. Other team page functionalities include tracking game events (goals, penalties, yellow cards, substitutions, etc.), grading each player's performance and voting for the game's Man of the Match.
