Source Attribution Policy

How We Attribute Sources

KickOff Live is committed to transparent sourcing. Whenever we report information that is not common knowledge or derived from direct observation, we attribute it to a source. Our attribution practices follow industry standards for sports journalism.

• Named Sources: Whenever possible, we name our sources. Named sources provide the highest level of credibility. We attribute information to specific journalists, official club statements, press conferences, and published reports.
• RSS Feeds: We aggregate news from reputable football news sources including BBC Sport, Sky Sports, The Guardian, ESPN, and Goal.com. Each aggregated article credits the original source and links back to the original publication.
• Official Sources: Club websites, league publications, and governing body announcements are clearly identified when used as sources. We prioritise official sources for factual information.

Transparency Commitment

We clearly distinguish between confirmed news, analysis, opinion, and speculation. Transfer rumors are labelled as such, predictions are clearly identified as editorial opinion, and guides are presented as educational content. Our readers always know what type of content they are consuming and where the information comes from.
