foot-boll methodology — World Cup 2026

This page explains plainly what is public and what is original on foot-boll. We write it because fans — and policy reviewers — deserve to know how the platform is built.

1. What is public (shared sports facts)

Core fixtures and results from open sources (openfootball) — public domain and available to any site.
Team names, venues, and rounds are official tournament facts that nobody owns exclusively.
That is why you may see similar tables elsewhere — that overlap is normal, not a copy of editorial content.

2. What foot-boll builds on top of the data

Original analytical essays in Insights — written for Arabic readers on rules, metrics, and predictions.
FIFA layer: detailed reports, player profiles, physical data, and an interactive stats dashboard where data is available.
Automatic local kickoff times — critical for fans in the Gulf and Maghreb facing North American time gaps.
Prediction games, leaderboards, and private leagues — free sports entertainment with no real money.
Short editorial context for RSS headlines without republishing full articles — respecting publisher rights.

3. News policy

We do not republish agency articles in full. We show the headline with a short context linking the story to the tournament on foot-boll, and send readers to the original source for the full piece. That protects copyright and adds clear value for our visitors.

4. Artificial intelligence

Match preview/summary text is generated from available public facts only and cached after generation. We do not invent injuries or lineups. Treat it as editorial assistance — always cross-check official numbers when it matters.

5. What we are not

We are not a betting site and do not sell cashable points.
We do not host unlicensed streams — we link to official sources only.
We do not claim ownership of the public tournament schedule.
