Editorial & Corrections Policy
Last updated: August 2026
GreenBall360 publishes football news, match analysis, transfer updates, player news, team news and squad analysis for readers who want clear, useful and accurate football information.
Our editorial goal is straightforward: publish content that helps readers understand football developments without unnecessary repetition, misleading headlines or unsupported claims.
Editorial Standards
GreenBall360 aims to ensure that published articles are:
- accurate at the time of publication
- clearly written and easy to understand
- based on relevant evidence and reliable sources
- useful to readers rather than written simply to increase article length
- clearly distinguished between confirmed facts, reported developments and analysis
We do not intentionally publish fabricated quotes, statistics, transfers, injuries or match information.
When information cannot be independently confirmed, articles should make that uncertainty clear.
Sources and Verification
Our writers and editors may use a range of reliable football sources, including:
- official club websites and statements
- official league and competition websites
- UEFA, FIFA and national football associations
- club press conferences
- official player or club social-media accounts where appropriate
- established news organizations and sports publications
- reputable journalists with a strong record of reporting on the relevant club, player or competition
Where possible, official or primary sources are preferred for confirmed information such as transfers, injuries, suspensions, fixtures and competition rules.
Statistics and historical records should be checked against reliable football databases, competition records or other trustworthy sources before publication.
Transfer News
GreenBall360 distinguishes between confirmed transfers and developing transfer reports.
A transfer should only be described as confirmed, completed or official when there is sufficient authoritative confirmation, such as an announcement from the clubs, player or another reliable primary source.
Where negotiations, bids or interest have only been reported, the article should use appropriate wording such as:
- reported
- according to reports
- in talks
- linked with
- agreement reported
Rumours should not be presented as completed deals.
Injury and Team News
Injury reports can change quickly.
We aim to verify player availability using official club updates, manager press conferences and reputable reporting.
Expected return dates are treated as estimates unless a club or other authoritative source has provided a confirmed timeframe.
Our injury-tracker articles may be updated as new information becomes available. Readers should therefore check the Last Updated date when viewing these pages.
Match Analysis and Head-to-Head Articles
GreenBall360 publishes pre-match analysis to help readers understand fixtures, including:
- head-to-head records
- recent form
- team news
- injuries and availability
- tactical considerations
- relevant statistics
These articles reflect information available before the match at the time they were published.
A pre-match article does not automatically become inaccurate simply because the match has since been played. Historical pre-match analysis may remain available as an archive of the information and context that existed before kickoff.
However, if we discover that a statistic, injury status, team detail or other factual statement was incorrect at the time of publication, we may correct it.
Analysis and Opinion
Some GreenBall360 articles include interpretation or analysis based on statistics, form, tactics and other available information.
Analysis is not presented as certainty.
Where an article discusses which team appears to have an advantage, this represents an editorial assessment based on the available evidence rather than a guarantee of a particular result.
Corrections
Accuracy matters to us.
If we discover a meaningful factual error, we aim to correct it as soon as reasonably possible.
Corrections may include:
- incorrect scores or match results
- inaccurate player or club information
- incorrect transfer status
- wrong injury information
- inaccurate statistics
- incorrect dates or competition details
- outdated GreenBall360 platform information
Minor spelling, punctuation or formatting corrections may be made without a separate correction notice.
For substantial factual changes, the article may display an updated date or additional clarification where appropriate.
We do not intentionally rewrite historical articles in a way that falsely suggests information was known at the time when it was not.
Article Updates
Some articles are designed to remain current and may be updated regularly.
Examples include:
- injury trackers
- transfer developments
- squad analysis
- evolving player or club news
Where supported by the page, GreenBall360 displays both the original publication date and a Last Updated date so readers can understand when the information was most recently reviewed.
Updates should add meaningful new information or correct outdated material rather than simply changing wording to make an article appear newer.
Artificial Intelligence and Editorial Review
GreenBall360 may use AI-assisted tools as part of its editorial workflow for tasks such as research organization, drafting assistance, editing, formatting or SEO preparation.
AI-assisted material is not treated as an authoritative source.
Published factual claims should be checked against appropriate sources, and responsibility for the final published article remains with GreenBall360's human writers and editors.
AI tools should not be used as justification for inventing facts, quotes, statistics, sources or events.
Authors and Accountability
Where possible, articles are published under the name of the writer or editor responsible for the work.
Author pages may provide additional information about the writer's role, areas of coverage and editorial experience.
GreenBall360 is responsible for the material published on its website regardless of whether research or editing tools were used during preparation.
Independence of Editorial Content
GreenBall360's editorial coverage is separate from its free-to-play prediction competition.
Editorial articles do not determine leaderboard scores, reward eligibility or match results used in the prediction system.
Where commercial or sponsored content is published in the future, it should be clearly distinguishable from independent editorial coverage.
Reporting an Error
Readers are encouraged to tell us if they believe an article contains a factual error or requires clarification.
Please contact:
When reporting an issue, include:
- the article title or URL
- the information you believe is incorrect
- any supporting source or evidence you can provide
We will review correction requests and update articles where appropriate.
Our Commitment
GreenBall360 aims to improve the quality of its football coverage over time.
That means prioritizing:
accuracy over speed, usefulness over word count, and clear reporting over sensationalism.
When we make mistakes, our goal is to correct them rather than leave inaccurate information unaddressed.
