Everyone’s got something to say about football. Maybe it’s that tactical decision that stuck with you, or the story of a grassroots team battling through a tough season. It might even be a personal lesson the game has taught you. Whatever it is, we believe those stories deserve a platform.
At TeamStats, we build tools that help teams improve through stats and analysis. But we know football isn’t only about numbers. It’s about ideas, experiences, and people. That’s why we’re opening up space for contributors who want to write about the game in their own words.
Why Write for TeamStats?
There are countless football blogs out there. Some chase transfer rumours. Others recycle the same headlines. That’s not us. Our readers are coaches, players, and fans who actually care about what happens on the training pitch and on match days.
So, what’s in it for you?
-
You’ll be writing for people who value substance, not clickbait.
-
Every article goes live with your name on it, along with a short bio, so you get recognition.
-
Your work will be featured on TeamStats and shared across our channels.
-
And maybe best of all, you get to be part of a community where your ideas can genuinely help someone else.
What Kind of Articles Work Well Here?
We don’t box writers in. If it’s about football and it’s worth saying, it’s welcome. But here are some ideas to get you thinking:
-
Tactical breakdowns — explain how a team’s setup worked (or didn’t).
-
Coaching advice — from planning drills to motivating players.
-
Player-focused — fitness, recovery, nutrition, or mental strength.
-
Football culture — stories from your club, your community, or your own playing days.
-
Stats and analysis — use numbers to make sense of a match or trend.
-
Behind the curtain — what it’s like organising or running a grassroots side.
That list is a starting point, not a rulebook. If you’ve got a fresh angle, bring it.
Sponsored Posts
In addition to guest contributions, we also welcome sponsored posts.
