When you follow Paolo Zanetti, a veteran journalist who writes about sport, politics and economics across Africa and Europe. Also known as the multi‑topic reporter, he blends match analysis with policy breakdowns, giving readers a clear picture of how headlines affect everyday life.
One of the core arenas he covers is football, the world’s most popular sport, with leagues from the Premier League to Ligue 1. Football isn’t just games; it drives local economies, shapes fan culture and even spills into political debate. For example, his story on the Manchester United 2025‑26 calendar shows how broadcast deals influence advertising revenue and club finances.
Another pillar of his work is politics, the decision‑making process that affects tax policy, social grants and international sanctions. Zanetti often links political moves to real‑world impacts, such as the G7 finance ministers’ new sanctions on countries buying Russian oil – a decision that reverberates through global energy markets and domestic fuel prices.
These three domains intersect constantly. A semantic triple that sums it up: Paolo Zanetti reports on football, which influences politics; politics shapes the economy; the economy fuels sports sponsorships. Another triple: Economics requires clear data; data comes from policy decisions; policy decisions affect football club budgets. By weaving these connections, his articles help readers see the full picture.
His coverage of South African matters illustrates this mix. The SASSA September 2025 grant dates article explains how staggered withdrawals aim to reduce ATM crowding, a safety issue that ties back to government budgeting and social welfare policy. Likewise, the Kenya Power token explanation breaks down a three‑tier tariff system, showing how utility pricing intersects with consumer economics and regulatory politics.
On the sports side, Zanetti breaks down match previews and results with a focus on tactics and player impact. Whether it’s Liverpool’s £40 million signing of Milos Kerkez as a long‑term solution for the right‑back role, or Crystal Palace’s dramatic 97th‑minute win over Liverpool, he highlights how transfers affect club strategy and league competition.
Beyond match reports, he dives into broader economic stories. The G7 oil sanctions piece looks at tariff mechanisms, while his coverage of the iPhone 17 Air launch touches on pricing strategy and global supply‑chain pressure. These pieces demonstrate how technology markets intersect with geopolitical moves.
All of this content sits under one umbrella: a curated collection that blends sport, politics and economics into a cohesive narrative. Below you’ll find a selection of his recent articles, each offering a deep‑dive into a specific event or trend. Browse the list to see how Zanetti connects the dots between a Premier League schedule and a new African social grant policy, and discover the practical takeaways you can apply to your own interests.
