About Football Around Me

I’m Shlomi, a programmer who travels the world exploring the football culture. I’ve been everywhere you can imagine. Boca VS River, Fenerbahce VS Galatasaray, Olympiacos VS Panathinaikos Marsille VS PSG, Barcelona VS Real Madrid,World Cups, Champions League Matches in South Africa,Over 40 matches in england... and in general more than 100 of matches all over the world(no counting 1000s of matches in my country) And why do I do it? Because I find football culture fascinating! The songs, the people, the alcohol, the stories, the experiences, the energy, and the excitement from the one topic that brings the whole world together. More than anything, football heals me. It heals me from daily life and stress, it’s there when I’m down, and again when I’m back on my feet. It’s there anywhere, anytime. It’s our common ground. It’s our religion. While traveling I’ve missed flights, busses, and big matches. Basically, I’m a mess, and have had my share of matches of missed. To solve the problem, I’ve built myself an app. And app that will tell me: What’s around me? What’s near me? Which matches? Where are the fans? Where do they eat? Where in the stadiums would I find the ultras? Just for me to not miss out. And then I realised, this could work for so many others! Here is a story.. You flew out to see Arsenal? Great! But you also missed an opportunity to see so many other matches in London, right near you. No need to research club by club, league by league and build your route. God knows how far in London Charlton could be from Millwall, and where the heck is Luton? QPR? And damn, I didn’t make it to Crystal Place, and also forgot Chelsea. Okay so you have the matches down, but what about hanging out with fans? Where in the stadium do the ultras sit? Where is the best experience? And where does everyone gather for pre-match drinks? Bottom line, you get it, it all needs to be in one place.
