23 Jun 2009

A new weekly tabloid football paper, Soccer Week, has recently been launched. It will focus on English, European and local football, the publisher announced yesterday, Monday, 22 June 2009.

With the current Confederation Cup and the World Cup being held in South Africa in 2010, there has never before been such a focus on football. Soccer Week will bring fans all the analyses of the key games, the latest news, as well as in-depth articles and interviews with top South African, African and international players.

Top sports journalists

The tabloid's news will be brought by some of the top sports journalists in South Africa. Justin Zehmke, Richard Ferraris and Lashias Ncube are on the editorial team and guest contributors include current and former players. Kenny Niemach, former player and current radio and TV presenter will soon present a column every week.

The paper, which comes out every Thursday, claims to be the most comprehensive football read in the country with features that include:

• Weekly Top 10: A lighter look at the world of soccer
• Media Mike: Media Commentary with Michael Hunt
• Full size posters
• South African Soccer News
• African Soccer News
• European Soccer News

Soccer Week was launched by its editor-in-chief, James Cohen, a 24-year-old entrepreneur with support from investment group Motlalepula Investments.
