About Us | Fokus Surabaya

Last updated: October 11, 2026

Fokus Surabaya is an independent digital publication covering football as it is played, coached, financed and argued about. We publish daily news, match analysis, transfer intelligence and long-form tactical writing, with a particular focus on the UEFA Champions League, Europe's major domestic leagues and the international game.

Our mission

Football produces more information than almost any other sport, and most of it arrives without context. Our mission is simple: to take the noise of a congested calendar and turn it into reporting that is accurate, readable and genuinely useful to supporters.

We are not a fan site and we are not a press-release aggregator. Every story we publish is written by a member of our editorial team, checked against primary sources wherever possible, and framed so that a reader who missed the match can still understand why it mattered.

What we cover

World Soccer — the global game, from the Saudi Pro League to the Copa Libertadores.
Champions League — match reports, knockout-stage tactics and officiating analysis.
Premier League, La Liga and Serie A — weekly reporting from Europe's biggest divisions.
Transfers — recruitment strategy, contract situations and market trends.
World Cup — build-up, previews and tournament narratives.

Editorial standards

We hold ourselves to a straightforward set of rules. We attribute information to its source. We distinguish clearly between confirmed fact and reported speculation. When we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and visibly. And we do not publish content that we would not be comfortable defending in public.

Opinion is labelled as opinion. Analysis is grounded in what can be observed on the pitch. Rumour is reported as rumour — never as fact.

The team

Fokus Surabaya is produced by a small, specialist team of writers and analysts based across Europe and Asia. Our contributors bring a mix of newsroom experience, scouting backgrounds and data analysis skills to every piece.

Dante Gonzalez — Senior Match Analyst, knockout-stage tactics.
Martina Alcheva — European Correspondent, Serie A and La Liga.
Alejandro Lopez Vega — La Liga Writer and international football.
Daniel Villar Pardo — Transfers and recruitment intelligence.

Independence and funding

The site is funded through advertising and reader support. Advertisers have no influence over what we publish, and no commercial partner is permitted to review editorial content before publication. Where a story concerns a commercial partner, we disclose that relationship in the article itself.
