Last Wednesday, Lionel Messi created a Fan page on Facebook. He might be late, but people have been waiting for him apparently. After only 7 hours, he almost counts 7 million likes. It’s funny: go to the fan page and refresh the page ( press F5 on your keyboard). You’ll notice that Lionel Messi gets new fans every second. I wonder when Lionel Messi will activate his football profile on Zamante ;-)

Football clubs and football stars make more and more use of social networks like Facebook. FC Barcelona has got 12 million fans on Facebook, Manchester United 11,5 million. We notice more and more “lower level” clubs use social networks to communicate with their fans. I posted this useful social media guide for sports clubs and athletes earlier on the Zamante blog.

Zamante is a social network for those actively involved in football: football players, coaches, club collaborators, scouts and agents. Clubs can also use Zamante to communicate with their fans. The page is publicly available, club collaborators can post articles and results are updated automatically. But most of all it is the place for club collaborators and coaches to get and stay in contact with players, follow careers and create free transfer opportunities.
