Football Business Africa is the magazine and podcast dedicated to the business of the beautiful game across the continent. We dissect the deals, track the trends, and celebrate the people shaping the future of African football.
We launched in January 2025 at a pivotal moment. Across the continent, the football industry is on the cusp of transformation. From grassroots development to elite competitions, a new era beckons — filled with opportunity and challenges alike.
Each month we delve into the heart of this dynamic landscape: the surge of investment, the battle for media rights, the digital revolution, the data gap, and the personalities — from Demba Ba to Patrice Motsepe — turning passion into enterprise. As of June 2026, the magazine has become a monthly thematic publication, dedicating each edition to one major issue shaping the future of African sport.
This is more than just a game. It's a booming business — and we're here to provide the insight you need to stay ahead of the curve.
Reporting grounded in the real economics of African football.
The trends, deals and data behind the headlines, explained.
Practical models clubs, federations and investors can act on.
Football Business Africa is produced by a team of journalists, analysts and contributors across the continent. We work with club owners, agents, marketing executives and entrepreneurs to bring you the intelligence that matters — in print, in your inbox, and in your ears every week on the FBA podcast.
