Our History and Journey
Isfootball8 is an English sports magazine covering the stories, people, and events that shape the world of sport. From football and basketball to tennis, motorsport, and other sporting disciplines, we bring readers news, insights, and features that go beyond the final score.
Launched in 2017, Isfootball8 began its journey as a vibrant football community on Facebook. Despite an early setback—the loss of a primary page with over 3 million followers—the project was rebuilt through resilience, vision, and a lasting commitment to its audience. Those football roots remain part of our identity as we expand our coverage to the wider sporting world.
Founded by Jaime Canhe, Isfootball8 was built on boldness, persistence, and a passion for sharing sports stories. Today, our magazine brings together sports coverage, athlete profiles, and features exploring the human stories behind competition.
