19/07/21

PARIS, FRANCE. Get Football Media is delighted to share that last week it celebrated its 5 billionth social media impression, in a journey that has now spanned 8 football seasons.

Get French Football News, Get German Football News, Get Italian Football News and Get Spanish Football News have experienced an opening 7 months of the year that has seen unprecedented growth, after a pandemic-induced slowdown in 2020. The outlets’ combined audience on social media application Twitter and others make it the most followed home for dedicated European football news and analysis worldwide.

The media group is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with FlashScore, one of the world’s largest instant sports score mobile applications, which will provide its 100 million users worldwide with European football news from Get Football Media outlets.

Additionally, the media group is excited to begin working with World Soccer for 2021/22, one of the most prestigious football magazines in the sport’s history, as their source of French football content through Get French Football News writers.

As the media group heads into a 9th campaign, changes at editorial level also come into effect.

Get Football Media is delighted to welcome Kaustubh Pandey as the new Editor-in-Chief at Get Italian Football News. Kaustubh enters the role as a pre-existing Get Football Media contributor, having also featured for The Times, BBC Sport, Manchester Evening News and others. Kaustubh will bring renewed rigour to the role in an important Serie A campaign ahead following the end of Juventus’ dominance at the top of the table last season.

Kaustubh had the following to say upon accepting the role:

“It’s an absolute privilege to have been given this chance to use my vision and creativity to take Get Italian Football News forward. I’m really thankful for the trust that’s being showed in me and I look forward to repaying it by helping GIFN grow through my approach. I hope to learn a lot in the role and use that to take GIFN to another level.”

Changes also come into effect at Get French Football News. A new editorial team takes over for 2021/22 that sees the appointment of ex-Get Italian Football News Editor-in-Chief Raphaël Jucobin into the same position at Get Football Media’s largest outlet. Raphaël is supported by Adam White who becomes the Head of Content, who will continue to lead the impressive growth that Get Football Media’s quarterly European football magazine, The Modern Footballer, has enjoyed in the last 12 months.

Raphaël adds:

“I’m delighted to have been offered this role, and I hope I can get across my passion for French football across all areas of Get French Football News. I’ve been following French football for as long as I can remember and have covered various aspects of it with GFFN for many seasons, from league football to Les Bleus, so I’m hoping to take that to the next level as editor-in-chief. I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the team to produce some great content ahead of what’s shaping up to be an intriguing and exciting Ligue 1 season.”
