About Us

Welcome to Waroffutbol! It is a football/soccer blog which focuses on unfolding unanswered or unpopular yet widely-searched content on this most popular sport on earth. The articles here are NON AI-generated and include news, analysis, and featured stories from goalkeepers and managers, who deserve equal credit as the outfield players. They continue to be underappreciated figures in football and should be given the same spotlight.


Regarding the name of this blog, the word 'war' is derived from my given name, Wardhana. As a disclaimer, it has nothing to do with violence. My experience as a football writer and contributor for various news platforms since 2019 ensures that the content is well-researched and analysed from numerous credible sources, without even any assistance from AI tools, except for the pictures.

Being the manager of your own national team would undoubtedly be an incredible experience for a coach. The pride of leading one's own country to an international major tournament is irreplaceable. However, fate can be cruel at times, and the opportunity to lead a rival nation arises before your own. Such is difficult, but for someone who is unattached, it is simply too good to pass up.
