@weshkaris @jafyaa Let me explain that in 3 folds: Characters, Storyline& Publication.
1. Characters: the lead character is Shakes, there are 9 other main Characters. Their Surnames could change e.g He was Shakes Makena in Kenya, SA he was Shakes Mokena, in Nigeria he was Segun "Shegs" Okoro.

@weshkaris @jafyaa Positions also doesn't change: Shakes (Striker, Main Character) Big Bo (Goal Keeper,Vice Capt) North Shaw (Main Defender) Blok (Defender) Dancing Rasta (Midfielder, Capt) Cool Joe (Midfielder, Lft Wing) Klaus (Defender, Midfielder, Striker) Twisting Tiger (Midfielder, Right Wing)
@weshkaris @jafyaa So, no matter the localisation of the their environment and their surnames... there was uniformity in their character names and position in the team. That is really important for relatability(customised) and for uniformity regardless of the storyline.
@weshkaris @jafyaa 2. Storyline: Technically the storyline doesn't change but the nuances like in language, scene around the stadium or where they live changes but structure of the storyline remains around humour, action, technology and exploration in life as well as thru football challenges.
@weshkaris @jafyaa 3. Publication: It was done locally in some countries. Why? You ask? Well, first, it would be cost effective to do that. Secondly, it would make it easier to scale & for distribution with licensing of their content to local publishers than doing it themselves. Smart? Very!
