Officially launched just 3 months ago, the website provides Clubs, Players, Agents, Scouts and the whole professional football community with a platform to buy and sell players, network and conduct business.

"We are obviously really pleased with how quickly Network90 has been adopted by the industry" said the former Galáctico and two time world player of the year.

"We wanted to provide professional football with a secure, private gathering place with the features to satisfy the needs of our sport, so I'm very excited that Network90 has rapidly become that destination and that our community is really benefiting from the service." continued Figo.

With a membership that includes thousands of individuals from the top clubs to the lower leagues, the service is proving to be a social media success; not least with retired players using it to re-connect with old teammates.

"I've already managed to reconnect with several of my former teammates and many more high profile names are starting to use Network90 to catch up with guys they haven't seen for years. We also have plans to host social events globally, so there will be some cool parties for the old boys to attend."  

Networking on the platform is free which also includes football Jobs and there is a wide range of bespoke premium services. In keeping with a private members site and to maintain the high quality of the membership, applicants are vetted to ensure they are part of the professional community, while existing members have the privilege to invite others.

"We couldn't have hoped for a better start and our aim is simple: to bring together the whole pro football community," declared Figo.

Luke Donald (a member of the golf elite and formerly number one in the world) is also a founding partner of Network90.com; he will head up the launch of Golf on the platform next year. Other major global sports are set to follow...
