We are excited to announce the addition of video content from Sky Sports Football!

Sky Sports Football is part of Sky Sports, a group of sports television channels operated by the satellite pay-TV company Sky PLC. Sky Sports is the dominant subscription television sports brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland and has played a major role in the increased commercialisation of British sport since 1991, sometimes playing a large role in inducing organisational changes in the sports it broadcasts, most notably when it encouraged the Premier League to break away from the Football League in 1992.

All of the Sky Sports Football TV video content is now automatically added to all official supporters club Websites on the Follr platform.

Follr is constantly looking to add top quality sports content from fans, teams and commentators and sports organizations. Fan (user) generated content is particularly popular – check back to see news about other great content we will be adding over the next few weeks.

Here is their most recent video, “Soccer Saturday: Funniest Moments of 2017/18!” from their YouTube channel. You can also follow them on Twitter, Facebook and the Web.

While the 32 teams involved in the FIFA World Cup will be aiming to go as far as possible and achieve success on the pitch, they will also be battling for a sizeable pot of prize money. Late last year, FIFA announced the amount of prize money available for the tournament in Russia and it’s at record levels once again. Excluding the Club Benefit and Protection Programmes, prize money this year stands at $400 million, an increase on 2014’s $358 million.

The following infographic provides an overview of how the performance-based prize money will be distributed. When Germany won the trophy in 2014, it was awarded $35 million. This year, the eventual winner in Russia will receive even more, $38 million. The runner-up will get $28 million while third place will receive $24 million.
