Hello everybody, 

The next generation football platform is up and running well. Of course we are still working very hard to improve every single detail but you can already enjoy some new fantastic features. 

In the next few weeks we’ll blog about the lastest and greatest features and functions and how to use them.

First, we’ve got an online first:

YOU have the power to create, edit, modify, be in charge of letting everyone know that you are an expert when it comes to your favourite team or footballer.

And you can do that in your own language. There are ten languages available on our new site: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

HOW TO CUSTOMISE YOUR FAVOURITE TEAM or PLAYER PAGE:

*Once you are at the OleOle home page you can go to the BROWSE & FIND tab and click on the CLUBS, PLAYERS or NATIONAL TEAMS link.

*Let’s go to WAYNE ROONEY’s page as an example.

*The link will take you to the player section main page and some of them will be shown on the right side of the page

*But if your favourite’s photo is not there it’s very simple to find him

*Go to the SEARCH BY TOPIC and start writing his name. OleOle will help you find him.

*If you still can’t find that footballer you can BROWSE by REGION, LEAGUES, CLUBS, etc…

*When you get to ROONEY’s page you will see a big orange box to add Rooney’s as your favourite. Do it.

*But unlike any other football side, here at OleOle you can do much more than that. How about adding some widgets to Rooney’s page so it will look the way you think it should look.

*On the left side of the page you will see a WIDGET DOCK with icons that represent the stuff that you can add to Rooney’s page.

*After you add all the fun stuff to his page you will be able to move those tables around and give the page the look and feel that you want.

You can also change the banner, the background colours… customise the page the way it fits your taste. Only OleOle gives you this power!

We will also assign page DIRECTORS in the future. Page Directors will have the privilege to control the look, the fell and the content of the page. To increase your chances to become a Page Director keep visiting your favourites’ pages, help maintain the widgets, start a blog, submit Throw-ins and prove you’re the biggest fan.

And there’s more to come…

~Cheers~

The fun has begun!  It's the big kick-off on OleOle for everyone who's helped us get through our Beta!  We've got an entirely new look (which is pretty cool), and just about everything on the site can be driven by fans just like you (and that is amazing).  OleOle is now structured to cover the entire world of professional football - 208 nations, 300 leagues, 5,000 teams and clubs, and more than 55,000 players!!

Think you can use these new functions?

• Personalized homepage - get snapshots of your favourite teams and players at a glance, and -  no more searching for teams or scores
• Ultimate team and player sections - control the layout, which widgets get displayed, the banners, the background, the look and feel of more than 60,000 sections - one for each team and player in the world
• Quicklinks - create your own navigation, so you can get to the sections of the site you really care about in a single click
• Facts & History -now YOU can write and edit facts, history and stats about any player or team - it's super easy

OleOle is the only place on the internet where football fans can create, unite, write, comment, vote, meet, discuss, customize, upload, watch, connect...and support their teams.

This is your chance to celebrate the great kick-off with us by logging on - and be sure to tell your mates!  

One Week To Go

Fed up with all the same “football news” sites that print the same articles and the same pictures? Tired of boring, “unbiased” news from neutral reporters who can’t pick sides? Then you’re ready for the very biased opinions, the rivalries, the passionate discussions, and the heated debates on the new OleOle.

We have worked (without a half-time break!) to build the revolutionary OleOle football platform, and are putting you and other passionate fans in control.

You decide what’s good, and what’s bad. You help manage the information, the layout, the look and feel of each section of the site. You get to write blogs, submit your favourite photos, upload the best football videos, and can rate and comment on yours - and everyone else’s!

So make sure you are warmed-up and ready for the big kick-off! And don’t forget to pass the ball and tell your friends.

Get ready to get in the game!

2 Weeks To Go!

Thanks for creating a profile and becoming a football fan on OleOle - you probably didn’t know it but you’ve helped to shape the future of football on the Internet. 

OleOle has been very busy for the past year architecting and building the world’s largest and most interactive football platform – by fans, for fans.  We couldn’t have done it without you – and we want to sincerely thank you for your help, feedback and use of the Beta site!

OleOle will be taking the “Beta” badge off the site in about two weeks, and when the kick-off comes, you will be one of the first to experience this ground-breaking football community.

The new platform will enable you to control just about everything about your favourite teams and players, and takes your profile page to new levels of personalization.  And there is so much more – we’ll keep you posted.

But, until then…lace up your boots, put on your favourite jersey, tell you mates, and…

Keep the ball rolling!
