Football source registry
This registry lists the public links Kickoff Lens uses for manual source checking, terminology confirmation, and freshness review across Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 coverage.
The registry is not a license to copy official databases or protected media. It exists so readers, advertisers, search reviewers, and future maintenance agents can see which sources are used for verification and which uses are explicitly prohibited.

Release-gate rules for source use
- A source link can verify a fact or terminology, but Kickoff Lens must add original football context before a page becomes useful to readers.
- A club page cannot enter the sitemap with only a club name, copied source text, copied schedule line, or placeholder radar.
- A matchweek page cannot enter the sitemap until participating clubs, kickoff source, table implication, matchup context, and correction trail are visible.
- A recap cannot become a durable archive page until final score, penalty outcome when relevant, event availability, and correction timestamp are separated clearly.
- If a source is incomplete or conflicts with another public source, the page should show the gap or remain blocked rather than inventing detail.
Rights-safe boundary
- Competition and club names are used as text identifiers for independent analysis.
- Official league logos, club crests, kit images, trophy art, mascot art, official match graphics, broadcast screenshots, highlights, and copied article text are not used.
- Official fixture pages can be used to check a kickoff or result, but Kickoff Lens does not republish a bulk fixture database as its own product.
- External links are references; they do not imply endorsement, partnership, authorization, or official status.
