Fact-Checking Standards
At FutebolAI, we take factual accuracy seriously. This page explains how we verify the information in our articles.
Data Verification Process
All statistical data in our articles goes through the following verification steps:
- API Source Verification: Match results, standings, and team statistics are pulled directly from the Football-Data.org API, which aggregates official data from league governing bodies
- Cross-Reference Check: Key statistics (scores, league positions, goal tallies) are cross-referenced against at least one additional source when available
- Historical Data Validation: Head-to-head records and historical match data are verified against official league archives
- Transfer News Verification: Transfer information cited in our articles is only included if confirmed by the selling or buying club through official channels
