It is with a heavy heart that we announce
the immediate closure of the
KickOffNigeria.com web and mobile sites,
as well as all it’s social media pages.
KON relaunched almost two years ago after
many years in the wilderness, and while the
traffic uptake was pleasing, the lack of
sustainable advertising and sponsorship
revenue has meant that it no longer makes
business sense to keep the platforms
operational.
We would like to thank all our readers for the
loyalty and support they have shown
KickOffNigeria; it has been a pleasure
reporting to such dedicated and
knowledgeable fans.

Sport fans in Nigeria will definitely miss kickoff.

Thanks

Honestly i don't have any thing to coment

This is a case of medicine after death. I never knew KON until now

Never heard of the site. Some things only become popular after they die.

Goal.com took them outta d Nigerian online market.

Oh no! How sad that we'll be missing Kickoff. For those who don't know, KickoffNigeria is - or was - the equivalent of Nairaland for fans of Nigerian football. I guess the drop in advertising and patronage might be attributable to competition from other football websites like Goal.com.

Noted. Hope nobody kick the bucket sha

ok

Sad really sad

WOW

Such a pity that we don't value what we have, now KickoffNigeria has run out of business when FourFourTwo continues to wax strong.

SMH

What?

Ebola scare!

………

Make we negotiate, I wan buy am or this is just a strategy to get more visitors?

Never had of the website...EVER

Will comment ltr

Kickoffnigeria? Doesn't ring a bell!

None of my business

But KON is popular, if they lack sponsors, they should change their PR man, not close it down. After NL, I visit that site a lot

rip to dem

Eyaaahhhhhhhh!

If that site has existed for two years and I havent visited it even once, it means they werent doing well at all... I cant imagine a day passing by without me visiting nairaland, and bbc sport(during premiership and uefa period)... 'KO' wont be missed, though itz a pity they just had a 'Knock Out'








Have no fear; Mannylex is here

To be honest, it is not easy for football bloggers but I am surprised kickoff are complaining of not getting advertisers. They could have use CPM networks, post more articles, get listed on news feed sites, publish more foreign articles and they definitely would have stayed on.

I am a football blogger myself and I know it is difficult ( very difficult ) when starting out but I do not want to believe that after so many years they are still find it difficult. My blog is now 7 years old and we definitely publish more articles than kick off and probably have more writers.

They are not telling us something.

I just hope they put up their domain name for sale before it drops and expires.
