 Sports Internet and Yahoo! enter ground breaking on-line agreement

Sports Internet, one of Europe's leading Internet sports content  and
statistics groups, is delighted to announce that it has entered  into
an  on-line  promotional  and distribution relationship  with  Yahoo!
Inc.,  a  global Internet media company that offers a branded network
of  media,  commerce  and communication services  to  more  than  105
million users worldwide.

The  Board  of  Sports Internet is delighted to announce  that  it  has
entered  into  an  online relationship with Yahoo!  Inc.,  one  of  the
leading Internet companies in the world. The relationship provides  for
Opta  Index  to  supply  its unique library of football  statistics  to
Yahoo!  Sports' (http://sports.yahoo.com) FA Carling Premiership League
Fantasy  Football Game (http://soccer.fantasysports.yahoo.com/premier).
This is a free weekly game that lets Yahoo! users run their own fantasy
team  of  real professional football players from the midseason battles
of December 1999 through to the deciding matches in May 2000.  The goal
of  Fantasy Football is to earn more points than other fantasy teams by
choosing  an 11-man lineup while staying under an available  unit  cap.
Users  can  link  directly from player game pages to www.optasoccer.com
for  related  player  statistics and information.   Optasoccer.com  was
launched by Sports Internet on December 8, 1999.

In  addition,  the  FA  Carling Premiership  Fantasy  Football  Game,
launched  on  17 December 1999, will be actively promoted  on  Yahoo!
Sports,    accessible    at    both    http://sports.yahoo.com    and
http://uk.sports.yahoo.com.

Tonya Antonucci, senior producer, Yahoo! Sports, said:

'Whether  fantasy  game  players are casual  sports  fans  or  football
fanatics, Yahoo! Sports FA Carling Premiership League Fantasy  Football
Game  lets every football fan take their love of the game to  the  next
level.  Through our relationship with Sports Internet, Yahoo! users can
simulate  the personnel decisions of a club manager, experiencing  both
the  entertaining  and realistic side of this top-flight  European  pro
league.   Team  managers  have the freedom to set  their  fantasy  team
strategy, choose the side's formation, and make daily personnel changes
from a player lineup page.'

Jeremy Fenn, Chief Executive of Sports Internet, commented:

'Yahoo!  is  a  market  leader in the world of the  Internet.   We  are
flattered  to  be the first UK entity to whom Yahoo! has  extended  the
opportunity  to  link directly from its fantasy game to outside  player
pages.   The  traffic that we expect to be directed  to  optasoccer.com
from  Yahoo! will, we believe, greatly accelerate its establishment  as
the  number  one generic football website.  We will continue  to  build
relationships with market leaders to maintain our position as  Europe's
leading Internet sports content, statistics and gaming group.'
