Independent football storytelling with a global perspective.

iBreatheSports was created with a simple idea: football deserves coverage that respects the game, its players, and its supporters. We focus on thoughtful storytelling that connects tactics to emotion, stadiums to communities, and tournaments to the people who live them.

What we cover
Our core editorial pillars include:
  • World Cup & major international tournaments – match coverage, profiles, and human stories.
  • Global football culture – fan traditions, local perspectives, and the communities built around the game.
  • Tactics & analysis – accessible breakdowns for curious fans and football-literate readers.
  • Player & coach stories – interviews, long-form features, and career deep dives.
How we work with organizers & partners
We view media accreditation as a responsibility. When we receive access, we:
  • Arrive prepared with a clear coverage plan and angle for each matchday.
  • Respect all media guidelines, mixed zone rules, and embargoes.
  • Highlight the tournament, host nation, and organizers in a positive, responsible way.
  • Offer to share select clippings and links to published content post-event.

Built for fans, aligned with media operations.

iBreatheSports is structured to make life easy for media operations teams while delivering content that resonates deeply with fans.

Coverage formats
We focus on:
  • Matchday notebooks – key storylines, atmosphere, and takeaways.
  • Feature pieces – players, supporters, host cities, and cultural moments.
  • Post-match reflections – narrative-driven analysis, not just stats.
  • Audio / podcast-ready segments – conversational recaps that can plug into shows.
