What 90min does

90min is a privately held digital football media platform founded in 2011 and acquired by Minute Media in 2021, operating as the world's largest football community under the legal entity Pro Sportority (Israel) Ltd. The platform delivers football news, transfer rumors, match analysis, player interviews, and fan-perspective opinion content across 11 language editions, reaching more than 50 million fans globally. Editorial operations are run from five newsrooms located in London (primary English-language), São Paulo (Brazilian Portuguese), Manila (regional Asia), New York (United States), and Tel Aviv (global operations hub), with on-the-ground journalists across Europe, the Americas, and Asia producing localized coverage of major leagues including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, plus international competitions such as the Champions League, Copa Libertadores, and World Cup.

The underlying technology is a web-based digital media platform with multilingual content management and an RSS syndication feed (posts.rss); no proprietary AI, API, SDK, or application-layer technology is disclosed. The English-language edition has been redirected to Sports Illustrated FC at si.com/soccer under the Minute Media portfolio, while sub-brands (90min France, 90min Deutschland, 90min Brasil, 90min Italia, and SI Fútbol) continue as regional editions. The business model is exclusively digital advertising, with all content freely accessible to users and no subscription or paid tier; distribution relies on owned web properties, social media presence (X/Facebook), SEO, and RSS syndication.

Founded by Asaf Peled and Gilad Beiman, the company is headquartered in London and operates as a portfolio asset within Minute Media, an Israel-incorporated parent. No venture funding rounds, revenue figures, or financial disclosures are publicly available; the company has 101-250 employees and continues active content production across its global editions.

• Goal: One of the largest global football-dedicated digital media brands, covering transfers, news, and live scores across multiple markets. Directly competes with 90min for football fan attention and advertising budgets across international markets.
• Bleacher Report: Major digital-first sports media platform delivering team-specific and league-specific content to a global audience. Comparable to 90min in audience-development approach, content-led growth model, and social-driven distribution strategy.

• ESPN: Global sports media leader with broad multi-sport coverage and significant football/soccer content. Operates as a broad incumbent rather than a football-only specialist, but competes for the same advertising budgets and audience attention.
• BBC Sport: Public-service sports broadcaster with extensive football coverage globally. Comparable to 90min in covering Premier League, Champions League, and global football, though supported by public funding and operating as a broad multi-sport destination.

Emerging players
