Nike and Google launch football site

Google and Nike have joined force to launch a new social networking football website.

Called Joga.com, the name derives from the phrase 'Joga Bonito' - or "play beautiful" in Portuguese.

The site is available in 14 languages, and “celebrates beautiful play and brilliant football, and offers a place where football crazy people can create their own social football network”.

Joga members will be able to build their own groups and clubs, share football-related information, upload photos and video, and organize and give updates on local matches and events.

Features of the site include:
- Profile Pages: Users can create their own personalized page where they can share information, browse their network of friends, and receive Friend Requests, Alerts, and Messages. Users can also able to add photos, videos and blogs to their profiles.
- Communities: Users can create communities devoted to any and all things football.
- Athlete information: Users have exclusive access to profiles and information about Nike football players.
