Currently owned by the Integrated Media Company (IMC) division ofTPG Inc. since 2020,[1] it is published in 18 languages across 38 global regions and edited by over 500 contributors as of 2019.[2]

History

[edit]

Sports statics companyPerform Group acquired Goal.com for £18 million from its previous investors, which includedBessemer Venture Partners.[3][4][5] In 2012, the website was investigated byHM Revenue and Customs department of the UK government over the use of unpaid interns.[6]

In August 2016, Perform Group launched the online sports video streaming service DAZN. In September 2018 Perform Group was split into two companies:DAZN Group (named after its streaming service) for its consumer content operations, and Perform Content for its business-to-business services. Under this new structure, GOAL sat underDAZN. In March 2019, DAZN re-organized the Perform Media division into DAZN Media, which includes GOAL. In late 2020, GOAL, alongside Spox and Voetbalzone were packaged as a new company called FootballCo. Shortly after, a majority stake in FootballCo. was purchased by Integrated Media Company (IMC) which is a division ofTPG Capital.[1]

As of mid-2023, Goal was the fifth most popular sports news website in the UK, with 1.5 million monthly British readers according to a report byPress Gazette.[7]

[edit]

In 2017 and 2020, GOAL won the Best Sports News Site award at The Drum Online Media Awards.[8]

GOAL50

[edit]

Since the 2007–08 season, the best 50 players of the respective season are selected by GOAL reporters and ranked as part of Goal's "Goal 50."[9] Starting from the 2018–19 season, the 50 players were divided into 25 men and 25 women, with a winner from both genders being crowned. In 2021 voting was changed, with the list of available players chosen by GOAL journalists and the ranking decided by a public vote.
