Football Merge Wiki:About

The Football Wiki is a free football (soccer) reference site which is being written collaboratively by the readers. We want to become the most up to date and the most reliable source for information about football. The Football Wiki should be like a encyclopedia.

The Football Wiki is a wiki, meaning that anyone can contribute to any article. You can contribute by clicking on the Edit this page button on the top of each page.

The Football Wiki project was started in February 2006. There are currently articles at The Football Wiki at the moment.
