Klinton Cod, Joins José Mourinho on Global Football TV Network – THISDAYLIVE
Nigerian content creator Klinton Cod is among more than 150 presenters, journalists, pundits and digital creators recruited for Football.com TV, a new 24-hour global football talk network launched by Sporty Group.
The network, which went live on YouTube on October 19, features Portuguese football manager José Mourinho as its global ambassador. It will focus on football news, analysis, debates and fan reactions, bringing voices from five continents together on a single digital platform.
Klinton Cod, who has close to one million followers across his social media platforms, joins a line-up of Nigerian football commentators and creators that includes Shina Oludare, Olawale Ayeni, Solace Chukwu, Ayotunde Onabolu, Michael Adegbile, Adaeze Michael and Femi Farawe. Ghanaian journalist Nathan Quao also represents West Africa on the network.
According to Sporty Group, the platform aims to give African football voices greater visibility in global conversations about the game, while allowing fans to engage directly with presenters and pundits across different time zones.
Mourinho, one of football’s most recognisable managers, will serve as the network’s global ambassador, helping to promote a platform built around strong opinions, football knowledge and audience participation.
Unlike conventional sports television channels, Football.com TV will not broadcast live matches. Instead, it will offer continuous coverage of conversations around the game, including pre-match analysis, watchalongs, interviews, breaking stories, and post-match debates.
Its programming will feature rotating groups of presenters and pundits, with viewers able to contribute through live chats, comments and polls. Fans may also be invited to join programmes and debate directly with the hosts.
Elías Gallego, Vice President of Media, Marketing and Business Development at Sporty Group, said Nigerian supporters had a strong culture of football debate and that the platform would give them an opportunity to engage with audiences around the world.
“Nigerian fans have never needed permission to have an opinion about football. They watch everything, they know everything, and they will tell you exactly where you went wrong,” Gallego said. “Football.com TV gives those voices a seat at the biggest table in the game, alongside the best of the rest of the world.”
The launch expands Sporty Group’s investment in digital sports media. Football.com TV is the television arm of Football.com, which has a community of more than 500,000 followers across its social media platforms. The company recently introduced a live-score application for Android users, combining real-time match updates with features for football fans.

Jobberman Nigeria, Nigeria’s leading career development and recruitment solutions company, has launched ‘Her Next Move’, a campaign designed to empower young Nigerian women with practical skills and confidence to pursue career opportunities and participate more fully in the workforce.
Through free online training, the initiative supports women aged 18 to 35 as they prepare to enter the workplace, advance into better roles or explore freelance and gig work.
Built around the message ‘Your Future. Your Skills. Your Move’, the campaign places female inclusion at the centre of career development, encouraging women to take an active role in shaping their professional futures. It connects the ambition to progress with an accessible starting point: learning skills that can help women prepare for their next opportunity.
‘Her Next Move’ recognises that career progress looks different for every woman. For a graduate, it may mean preparing for a first job. For a woman already working, it may involve developing the skills to take on greater responsibility or pursue a new role. For another, it may mean understanding how to navigate freelance work and participate in the global gig economy. The campaign brings these aspirations together through a shared emphasis on learning, preparation and action.
This Initiative by Jobberman in partnership with Mastercard Foundation promotes two courses: Jobberman Soft Skills Training and Becoming a Successful Global Gig Worker. Both courses are free, with a free certificate upon successful completion.
Jobberman Soft Skills Training focuses on workplace readiness, helping participants build the professional skills needed to navigate work and prepare for career progression. Becoming a Successful Global Gig Worker introduces participants to the demands and opportunities of freelance and gig work, supporting women interested in exploring career paths beyond traditional employment.
By making the training and certification available at no cost, ‘Her Next Move’ reduces the financial barrier to participation and encourages more young women to invest in their professional development. Its focus extends from raising awareness of learning opportunities to helping participants follow through and complete their chosen course.
To bring the campaign to life, Jobberman is working with young creators who are sharing personal stories about ambition, career transitions and the role of learning in their journeys. Through videos, social media posts and follow-up conversations, the creators encourage young women to reflect on their own goals and identify the practical steps they can take towards them.
These stories are intended to make career development relatable, connecting everyday aspirations with opportunities to learn. Across the campaign, the question “What is your next move?” invites women to define progress for themselves and begin preparing for it.
‘Her Next Move’ reinforces Jobberman’s and Mastercard Foundation’s commitment to supporting career development and expanding access to learning for young Nigerian women. By combining free skills training with relatable storytelling and encouragement to take action, the campaign seeks to help more women feel prepared to pursue their ambitions.
