Young Play-style on Our Sacred Home Ground by Football Tribe Vietnam

by Trung Nguyen, Chief Editor of Football Tribe Vietnam


 With an office in Vietnam that we opened in November, we finally got our own "sacred home-ground," our "stadium," With our home established, it was the right time to build a strong team and define a “playing style” for our team.

Before, the Vietnam edition focused only on domestic football, rarely covering international content. While many Vietnamese readers were interested in domestic content, there were also many fans of European top leagues including the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. We understood that we were missing out on a huge market with so much potential. It was decided: we needed to start developing our international content.


We brought in young journalists and trained intensively at office. We assigned over 20 shifts per week in order to cover as many world’s football events as we could. Our writers' work is checked carefully and graded by three knowledgeable editors. Through this checking and grading process, our writers improved tremendously and became able to produce articles independently.

 Recognizing the importance of visuals in internet media, we created full- and part-time positions dedicated to standardizing and improving our graphics. Our pictures and videos since then had received huge improvements in interactions and views.

 The team is now running smoothly. Our young players are still improving and learning new things every day. I hope they can become strong journalists in the future in order to lead younger generations of Football Tribe and also other football lovers across the country.

Feel the Passion

Birth of Football Web Comic by Football Tribe Korea

by Mihyun Chung, Chief Editor of Football Tribe Korea  My first boss at my first full-time job was this man - this man who is smart, clever, and confident. He never likes yes man, so is always open to challenges. He always protects his staff and presents a very clear vision and direction. He has got all the attributes that any boss would need.  Except that he supports Manchester United.  He is a big Man Utd fan. I still remember him saying "I'm very upset now because that Van Gaal sold Chicharito." It was very clear United was THE TEAM. So when asked which team I supported in Premiership, I did say "Glory Glory Manchester United," while Man Utd is the only team that I hate in England.  Not long after did I figure out he is more than happy with challenges. So I confessed that I do not support United.  Ever since then, every day at work was fun. He loves sarcastic jokes; and he absolutely adores football banter or even trash talks. That i...

The Day Malaysian Boys Made History in China by Football Tribe Malaysia

Image
by Keeshannan Sundaresan, Chief Editor of Football Tribe Malaysia Credit: AFC It was surreal. One day before a massive, massive decider against Saudi Arabia, Malaysian U-23 boss, Datuk Ong Kim Swee universally declared his intention to attack their opponents and go for a win. Best part? His statement was in response to Vietnam’s 1-0 win over Australia, which was yielded through a complete smash and grab performance. I clearly remember talking to a few friends and going: “Is he for real? Did he just say Vietnam’s win didn’t mean much because they were conservative on the pitch? Did he say that just one day before a cruncher against the mighty Saudis?” Malaysian football’s battle with inferiority complex has been ongoing for the last two decades or so, which if there are any individuals who have stood up against it, it’s Datuk Ong Kim Swee. From his mind-blowing team talk at the the 2011 SEA Games to all the young talents that have been moulded under him, Ong ha...

The Man Who Invited Me To The Football “Tribe” by Football Tribe Japan

by Ippei Tsuchiya, deputy editor of Football Tribe Japan We, human beings, have some pivotal moments in our lives. And it often caused by someone who has extraordinary talent or fascinating personality or both of them. In my case, it was 1998, I was seven years old and the year that Japan achieved two very important accomplishments in Japanese sports history. Firstly, Japan hosted Winter Olympic Games in February of that year, and Japanese Olympians won 10 medals in total. Winter sports are not so popular in my home town, but I prefer Winter Olympic Games more than Summer Olympic Games since then. Secondly, Japanese football national team appeared in FIFA World Cup for the first time in Japanese football history. They lost all three group stage games, but they competed with Argentina, there were Gabriel Batistuta, Claudio Lopez and Juan Sebastian Veron, and Croatia, there were Davor Suker, Robert Prosinecki and Zvonimir Boban, bravery and the most importantly they gave m...
