Fans of the beautiful game can now share the latest football news as well as uploading photos and videos thanks to a brand new online football community portal.

The site is called Joga, which is taken from the Portguese, "Joga Bonito" or to "play beautiful" and is the result of collaboration between Google and Nike.

Football fans can log onto the site, create their own personalised webpages, browse their network of friends and share important match updates, as well as write their own football-related blogs.

The site also aims to promote Nike's three-a-side community football tournaments that are happening in a number of countries across the world. Visitors to the website can track results of all Joga3 Club matches and check where their team currently ranks.

Google is intending to develop and launch a whole range of more advanced tools and features for the website in the near future, helping football fans feed their enthusiasm for the game, particularly as this summer's World Cup in Germany fast approaches.
