Welcome to Soccer Knowledge Hub

I have created Soccer Knowledge Hub to provide you with all of the information you need about the beautiful game.

My name is Justin Randolph and I’ve been playing soccer my whole life. I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida, where I fell in love with the beautiful game of soccer from a very young age. I am also a qualified soccer referee and share my in-depth knowledge of the rules of the game.

I’m a huge fan of the USMNT and I regularly tune into the MLS, EPL, and other European leagues. As a Floridian, I’m an Orlando City Fan (for my sins!) but I appreciate the quality of teams from all around the world.

This website – Soccer Knowledge Hub – tells you everything you could possibly want to know about soccer. I focus on making soccer easy to understand for beginners, but some of my articles will also look into many of the finer aspects of the game.

Contributing writers to this blog include Ross Young and Daniel Butler, both of whom have been playing soccer for decades and share my love and passion for the beautiful game.

Ultimately, I am creating a resource for everyone to use and share and I’m so happy to welcome you to my website.

The structure of Soccer Knowledge Hub

I have designed this blog with ease-of-use in mind, and I’ve split all of our pieces into easy-to-navigate categories. The structure of Soccer Knowledge Hub is as follows:

  • Soccer for beginners: The articles posted here include frequently asked questions about soccer, helping you learn everything there is to know about the beautiful game. The articles are deliberately short and concise and we have written them with easy-to-understand language that is accessible and jargon free for all soccer newbies!
  • Soccer rules: Some of the rules of soccer are inherently complex, so this section consists of in-depth rule explanations. Written by Ross Young or Justin Randolph (both qualified soccer referees in the UK and US, respectively) the articles provide you with insight into how soccer is officiated and what some of the rules entail. This is a helpful resource for players, referees, and spectators alike.
  • Soccer Equipment: In order to play soccer, you need to have the right equipment. In this category, we publish articles relating to soccer cleats, jerseys, and the various other articles that you might need to play the game. We answer FAQs and offer recommendations, and we also suggest specific products that might be of help to you, based on our own experiences in the game.
  • Soccer Competitions: From the World Cup to the UEFA Champions League, there are so many professional soccer competitions out there. In this category, we publish articles relating to a whole host of professional soccer competitions, answering some of your most pressing questions in regard to their structure, competitors, and history.
  • Soccer Destinations: Every contributing writer is a soccer lover at heart, which is why we decided to launch our SKH visits … series, where we chronicle some of the most intriguing and alluring soccer destinations on the planet. From mainstream soccer hubs like Rome to soccer obscurity on the beaches of Mauritius, our goal is to bring you first-hand profiles of soccer destinations from all around the world, to inspire you to get out there and watch live soccer for yourself.
  • Opinion: Our soccer opinion pieces are wide-reaching and varied, including app reviews, player profiles, and some in-depth analysis about some of the latest goings on in the sport that we all love. We are open to guest contributors to add to our ever-growing opinion pieces, so please do get in touch if you would like to share an article about the beautiful game that we all know and love.
