The interactive globe is a way to see that This Is Football is one shared world. It is not just a decorative map: it is an entry point for discovering league locations beyond your own club.
Shapes for places, markers for leagues
The globe uses map polygons to describe the shapes of locations, while markers identify places that have league systems to explore. Keeping those layers distinct makes the map easier to read: geography gives context, and markers provide a clear route into football.
Some locations need more care than a conventional country list allows. The United Kingdom’s home nations are shown separately; territories and islands can be discovered in their own right; Antarctica has a place on the map; and the Moon has its own out-of-this-world destination.
Explore without losing your way
Clicking or selecting a location can take a manager deeper into its league context. The aim is to help visitors see the clubs and activity that make each part of the world distinct, whether they are looking for a familiar home or somewhere completely new.
The directory is the practical fallback
Maps are visual; directories are dependable. The searchable World Directory provides a direct route when a small island, territory or far-away marker is difficult to spot. It is also useful for managers who simply prefer a list to a globe.
Live feature: the globe and directory are ways to discover the existing world. Their presentation can improve as the world’s stories and public information grow.
