Image credits and licences

AccaForge caches sports photographs and team crests for editorial football coverage. Individual image credits and licence details are displayed alongside cached photographs.

Daily football photographs

Sports photographs are sourced from Wikimedia Commons. The daily refresh accepts only images whose machine-readable licence is CC0, Public Domain, CC BY or CC BY-SA (versions 3.0 or 4.0). Creator, source page and licence information are retained and shown with the photograph.

Team badges and competition crests

Team badge discovery uses TheSportsDB. Club badges and competition marks remain the property of their respective rights holders and are displayed only to identify teams and competitions; no club or league endorsement is implied. Existing competition crest assets are sourced from the JoseArroyave/football-logos repository.

News links

Football headline discovery is powered by the GDELT Project. AccaForge stores headline metadata, publisher names and links to original publishers. It does not republish full articles or copy publisher photographs.
