Competition databases for World Cup, Champions League, and major leagues
Kickoff Lens is being structured as a multi-competition football data product. The World Cup 2026 section is the active dataset; Champions League and Europe's major domestic leagues are theme pages that define the same data model before club data is published at scale.
This hub is the switcher: choose a competition, read its data boundary, and then move into match pages, team or club dossiers, player profiles, and radar comparisons when reliable public data is available.

Reusable data model
| Layer | World Cup version | Club-football version |
|---|---|---|
| Team or club dossier | National team rank, group path, squad profile, and radar dimensions. | Club strength, league position, squad depth, European workload, and tactical style. |
| Match radar | Attack, defense, control, execution, form, depth, and venue pressure. | Attack/defense fit, pressing resistance, rotation risk, travel, rest, and table incentive. |
| Player context | Role, caps, goals, impact, and squad sensitivity. | Role, minutes trend, goal contribution, availability signal, and tactical dependency. |
| Schedule pressure | Group-stage congestion, knockout path, host-city adaptation. | Domestic matchweek load, European travel, cup rotation, derby pressure, and injury risk visibility. |
| Post-match archive | Final score, timeline availability, model read, and source note. | Result, tactical recap, momentum shift, table effect, and future fixture implication. |
Legal and editorial boundary
Competition, club, and team names are used only to identify the football subjects being analyzed. Kickoff Lens is independent and does not claim official status, endorsement, partnership, media rights, ticketing rights, or licensing from FIFA, UEFA, domestic leagues, clubs, broadcasters, or sponsors.
Public pages must not use official logos, league badges, club crests, kit artwork, trophy art, mascots, broadcast screenshots, video clips, fixture database copies, article copies, or paid-tip language. When a data source is not reliable enough, the page explains the missing layer instead of generating thin placeholder pages.
Current build sequence
- Keep the World Cup theme stable and useful through the knockout stage and final recap.
- Use this hub as the top-level competition switcher instead of making the homepage a single-tournament page.
- Add club dossiers with the same radar, source-boundary language, and update notes used by national teams.
- Add matchweek pages only when the source and update cadence are reliable enough for readers and search engines.
- Keep thin placeholder pages out of the sitemap until they contain real club data or substantial editorial analysis.
