Officially launched in February 2007 by Chairman Tal Barnoach and CEO Ze'ev Rozov, Sportingo is an online community that allows sports enthusiasts to publish articles and access sports-related information such as news, statistics and sports-related video.
The content is edited by Sportingo's team of sports journalists.
In June of this year Sportbuzz also completed the acquisition of CaughtOffside.com, one of the UK's most popular soccer blogs.
According to Barnoach, the firm will use the new funds to expand its activities in Europe, the firm's main market."We established an office in England to handle all our activities in Europe," Barnoach said, adding that the company aims to reach millions of new users in the next year, and plans to buy other assets.
The company has signed agreements in recent months with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the International Tennis Federation and New Zealand's All Blacks national rugby team.
