Overview
ONE, also known as ONE.co.il, is an Israeli sports journalism and media company whose principal digital outlet covers domestic and international sport. Its editorial emphasis is Israeli football, supplemented by reporting on football around the world, Israeli and international basketball, and a broader category of other sports. The brand is regarded as one of Israel’s two leading sports websites, alongside Sport5.co.il, according to audience research cited in reference material. The company was founded in 1999 by Udi Milner and Gil Menkin. Its initial purpose was connected to coverage of “The 91st Minute,” a sports television program broadcast on Israel’s Channel 2. As the Israeli online sports-media market developed, several competing sites reportedly disappeared, while ONE continued operating with financial support from the production company Telad. This early backing helped the site survive the competitive consolidation of the sector. ONE organizes its journalism into recognizable editorial areas, including Israeli Football, World Football, Israeli Basketball, World Basketball, and Other Sports. This structure enables the brand to serve both fans of Israel’s domestic competitions and readers interested in major international sporting events. Football remains the central editorial focus, reflecting the prominence of the sport in Israeli sports culture, while basketball provides a substantial secondary area of coverage. The brand has also extended beyond a conventional written-news website. The supplied reference describes ONE as encompassing sports websites, journalism, and television activity. Its public profile has been supported by a group of recognizable sports commentators and columnists, including former footballers Haim Revivo, Eyal Berkovic, Alon Hazan, and Alon Mizrahi, as well as basketball coach Zvi Sherf. Their participation gives the outlet a mix of reporting, opinion, analysis, and insider commentary. In 2007, Yedioth Ahronoth Group acquired 50% of the website’s ownership. The transaction connected ONE with one of Israel’s major media groups and represented an important stage in the outlet’s corporate development. The supplied material does not establish the current ownership structure, financial performance, employee count, or precise scope of its television operations. It also does not provide a verified current corporate website URL beyond identifying the digital brand as ONE.co.il. Accordingly, the brand is best characterized as an Israeli sports-media organization rather than an apparel or consumer-goods company.
History
ONE was established in 1999 by Udi Milner and Gil Menkin. The outlet was created in connection with coverage of “The 91st Minute,” a sports program broadcast on Israel’s Channel 2. From its beginnings, the brand operated in the emerging Israeli sports-website market, where multiple competitors attempted to attract audiences interested in football, basketball, and other sports. The early 2000s brought consolidation and attrition among Israeli sports websites. According to the supplied reference material, a number of competing outlets eventually ceased operating, while ONE survived with investment from Telad, the production company associated with its original television context. This support allowed the website to continue developing its editorial presence and audience reach. ONE’s coverage became organized into major categories including Israeli Football, World Football, Israeli Basketball, World Basketball, and Other Sports. Although the brand reports on sports from around the world, Israeli football has remained its primary editorial area. The site’s position in the domestic market was reinforced by its inclusion among the two largest Israeli sports websites in audience research cited by the reference material, together with Sport5.co.il. The brand expanded its public profile through a combination of written journalism, online publishing, television activity, and personality-driven commentary. Its associated columnists have included football figures Haim Revivo, Eyal Berkovic, Alon Hazan, and Alon Mizrahi, along with basketball coach Zvi Sherf. These contributors helped add expert analysis and opinion to the outlet’s match reporting and news coverage. A significant corporate milestone occurred in 2007, when Yedioth Ahronoth Group acquired a 50% stake in the website. The investment linked ONE with a major Israeli media organization and marked a shift from an independently developed sports site toward participation in a larger media-group structure. The supplied sources do not clarify whether that ownership arrangement remains unchanged, nor do they identify a current chief executive, board, legal entity, revenue figures, or current television distribution arrangements. Today, the subject identified by the canonical Wikipedia title “One (website)” is an Israeli sports-media brand. It should not be confused with similarly named apparel companies, fuel businesses, financial brands, or other organizations using “One.” Its core identity is the ONE.co.il sports-news operation and its associated sports-media activities, with football at the center and basketball and other sports as supporting editorial areas.
