  1. World Football Index

    Jul 21, 2005
    Hello,

    I'm in the beginning stages of building a website called the World Football Index. The reason I'm posting this now is to get feedback (comments + suggestions) and to request help in building it.

    Eventually, it will be a one-stop source to find basic information and links to thousands of clubs in hundreds of countries. I know there have been several similiar projects but I'm hoping to make this site more useful to fans.

    Here's the specific information I'm looking for: Official Club Name, Year Founded, Nickname, Motto, Hymn, City, Region/Province, Stadium, Main (Derby) Rivals, Current Division, Ultras groups and Fan Clubs

    Some other things I'm considering including: Was/is the club traditionally followed by or associated with the working-class or upper class? Are the fans known by a certain name (derogatory or otherwise )? Or any other facts you find interesting...

    Links: Official Website, News Sites, Fan Sites, Forums, Directories

    To make it accessible to more people I'm also attempting to make each page in English and the native language(s), so I could use some help translating.

    Here's what I have for Ireland so far.

    To get a better idea of what I'm trying to do check out the Arsenal and Chelsea pages.

    Any amount of help is appreciated. Thank you!

    *I'm sure there are numerous dead links and mistakes at the moment; please bear with me. If you don't see your club try typing the club name in between worldfootballindex/ and .html/

    Great idea, but my advise: go for paid hosting, Angelfire will only disturb the site with their banners ;) If you need any help. I have a huge collection of football links.

    Yeah, you're right. If this works out I definitely need to move it to a real domain. You can block the pop-ups but the banners are still irritating.

    I could really use the webspace anyhow. That's why I'm not including any graphics at the moment.

    That would be great if you could send me some links. How do you store them? Are they bookmarks or on a website?

    Thanks

    Thanks, added them.

    Gerrit, let me know if you can send me any links or info. I saw you are familiar with the league in Greenland. That could help. :)
