Four decades of building useful things around the game.
SoccerMagic.com brings together the projects, publications, clubs, software tools, stories, and businesses created under the SoccerMagic.com name. Some are active. Some are historical. Some are free resources. Together, they show the path from a 1983 soccer board game to today’s SoccerMagic.com Strategy Board.

The Story Behind SoccerMagic.com
SoccerMagic.com is not a résumé. It is a living record of ideas turned into something real—a board game, a magazine, a soccer club, a writing guide, a book, a stadium audio system, a coaching workspace, original media, and businesses built to serve practical needs.
The projects may be different, but the reason behind them has remained the same.
When soccer, education, or business presented a problem, SoccerMagic.com did not simply talk about it. We built an answer.
