Footwork Media partner with Men in Blazers to launch ‘Early Kick Off’
Footwork is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Men in Blazers media network to launch a new daily early morning soccer podcast.
Early Kick Off launches on Monday, September 18th and is a new, daily 10-minute podcast giving you global football's biggest stories and headlines, straight from Europe's back pages, produced in London and delivered directly into your ears to start every morning.
The podcast will deliver the latest headlines to North American soccer fans each morning at 6am ET and will showcase a rotating cast of the best in British audio talent, launching with our very own Sammy James as host.
The Men in Blazers Media Network continues its rapid growth as the leading independent soccer-focused content company in North America. Our new partnership will expand the network’s capabilities to produce timely, authoritative content on British soil and deliver it to US audiences.
With the amount of soccer news across the globe, including results, transfers, injuries, and other headline grabbers, Early Kick Off, will be the first touch for US soccer fans with the soccer news of the day.
“Trying to catch-up on the amount of soccer news each day can often feel like you’re drinking from a firehose,” said Roger Bennett, Co-founder and CEO of Men in Blazers Media Network. “This expansion will allow us to bring fans each morning the most complete, efficient, and entertaining round-up.”
“There is such a depth of podcasting talent in the UK that we look forward to bringing to a new audience, and we are thrilled to have Sammy and our new teammates in the UK delivering this to American soccer fans by the time the sun rises and we hope to have more to announce soon.”
