Offbeat sports stories from around the globe

Globe Ball Media

Globe Ball Media is the home of uncommon and offbeat football and cricket stories from around the world.

Sport does not exist in a vacuum: it bleeds into the community, geopolitical conflict and economy; it provides hope and friendship, and it isn't always hard-hitting and serious.

Every nation has its own oddities and idiosyncrasies as well as its challenges. Globe Ball Media plumbs them and sometimes bathes in them.

As a brand, we are curious and open-minded. We're not limited to any one nation or league, but we're more interested in grassroots and developing leagues than we are in Haaland's goal-scoring feats or The Ashes.
