THE MANIFESTO: Stories beyond the game
🏟️ Football is more than a ninety-minute event.
It is a vast, interconnected map of human experience, cultural shifts, and forgotten moments. In an era of instant reactions and fleeting headlines, Into the Match stands for the depth that remains when the noise fades.
🤓 We are the detectives of the pitch.
We don’t believe in rumors; we believe in records. Our value is found in the dust of archives, the ink of vintage newspapers, and the frames of historical film. We cross-check every fact and verify every legend because the truth of the game is more compelling than any fiction.
🔎 We look for the “Intrahistoria”.
While others focus on the “what,” we obsess over the “why.” We dig beneath the surface of the scoreline to find the “inner history”—the hidden motives, the personal details, and the structural forces that shape every match.
🎯 The map is our guide.
We believe that to understand a club, a player, or a tournament, you must understand the ground they stand on. By blending football with geography, we explore how borders, landscapes, and local identities define the sport we love.
💡 Rediscover the game with us.
We are an editorial project built on passion, driven by evidence, and dedicated to the art of storytelling. We don’t just watch the game. We investigate it.
