Play65 (in collaboration with the sports fans’ social network site Web2Sport) brings you the first football team in the world managed and coached by no other than online surfers! Yes, if you have always wanted to become a football manage/coach, Hapoel play65 Kiryat Shalom is the first interactive football team in the world. How it actually works? To manage Hapoel play65 Kiryat Shalom all you have to do is open an account on Web2sport, follow the team’s games on Saturdays and vote on the team’s future plans throughout the upcoming Israeli football season using the internet. You can give the team’s members strategic tips, fire the players and do everything a football team manager does! At first, I didn’t realize how huge and revolutionary the whole project is, until I’ve seen the first the match on Saturday. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of football, but you don’t have to be to realize that you can actually control the future of a football team, with fans and all. Let’s just hope that Hapoel play65 Kiryat Shalom will be managed by surfers who have better understanding of the game than me…
