| About Soccerama
See below for the history of this magazine
Soccerama is a UK-based 336-page quarterly football magazine/book, edited by Hyder Gareth Jawád, which began life in October 2015. It claims to be at the serious end of the journalism spectrum, with large, in-depth features, essays, interviews, and original research. The Soccerama idea is based on the editor's long-held ambition to create a football publication in the style of Granta.
The first edition of Soccerama was published on October 21, 2015[1] and sold out its original print run of 512 test copies within three weeks. The editor described the initial print run as an "uncorrected proof edition; essentially, a demo to see the level of interest in such a publication". Having revised the first edition, the publishers produced a reprint in January 2016, which also sold out. The publishers initiated a third print run in February 2016.
In the "mission statement" to the first edition of Soccerama, the editor states that the "publication [is] produced by one man, with one laptop, and one telephone, in one coffee shop, over a period of three months". The plan, however, is that, "in the fullness of time, the one-man band will become a forty-piece orchestra" - as and when budget increases allow.
