Jay-Jay is a retro football community, named for Okocha, that produces articles, podcasts, and videos celebrating the 80s, 90s, and 2000s golden era and treating players as artists.
Target Audience:
Men 30–50 who are nostalgic for 80s–00s football. They are creative professionals who demand high-quality aesthetics and in-depth storytelling, favoring long reads, podcasts, and visually engaging content.
Vision:
Our core goal is to rescue and celebrate football's beautiful, authentic side (stories and memories) by standing against modern football's flaws (money-driven, generic content). We aim to restore sincerity, character, and realness.
Mission:
To become the global reference point for nostalgic football lovers: a creative and emotional home. Our goal is to build a community, not just an audience, by fostering meaningful sharing and user engagement once our base is established.
