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.

The 'Banter Era' is defined as a period in which a football team goes through difficult years without winning a notable top title, such as a league title or a continental top flight championship.

  A number of notable winter transfers in five top European leagues this season involving well-known players may have gone unnoticed. The winter transfers in major European leagues were completed on February 1. Several big names have made moves to save their futures, revive their careers, or simply look for more minutes on the pitch. The winter transfer window is the best opportunity for clubs to sign players who can make an immediate impact as the season progresses. Unfortunately, such is quite tricky.
