Arena Insider expands to cover Arena Football One and Indoor Football League
PHILADELPHIA (Oct. 21, 2024) – X1 Media is excited to announce that Arena Insider will expand coverage to two more football leagues beginning in 2025.
Arena Insider, the flagship organization of X1 Media, has been the top news website for the Arena Football League since 2014. The site dramatically grew its audience, totaling more than 70,000 article views over a fourth month span, during the AFL’s relaunch in 2024 for its investigative and exclusive stories.
On September 4, all teams from the AFL formed under a new league – Arena Football One (AF1). It is unclear at the moment if the AFL will shut down operations, but Arena Insider will continue to cover the league along with the newly formed AF1.
Arena Insider will also report on the Indoor Football League beginning next season. The IFL, which has been around since 2009, is the longest running indoor football league in the United States. Teams are based in markets on each coast including some historic franchises.
Coverage of the IFL will include a partnership with Off The Wall. The podcast and blog site publishes engaging weekly content including interviews with players, coaches and organizations in the indoor football world.
“Arena Insider has been an important part of the Arena football community with their commitment to investigating stories and being a voice of transparency,” Trey, Founder of Off The Wall, said. “I am excited to partner with Arena Insider to expand our platforms for players to tell their stories & to help bridge the gap between fans and their favorite players, teams & leagues. We are continuing to build and grow in the offseason heading into 2025 and look forward to many more stories to be told!”
This significant step will provide an opportunity for local fans and aspiring journalists. In the coming months, opportunities will be available for beat reporters, investigative journalists, podcast and radio hosts, social media content creators, editors and more.
