African Football aims to publish accurate football news and useful evergreen guides. When errors are identified, we review them and correct the record as quickly and transparently as possible.
How to request a correction
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us through the Contact page and include the article URL, the issue, and any supporting source or documentation.
What we correct
We correct factual errors such as incorrect names, match details, dates, scores, clubs, squad information, competition details, venues and attribution. We may also clarify wording when an article could be misunderstood.
How corrections are handled
Editors review correction requests against reliable sources. If a correction is needed, the article will be updated. Major corrections may include a clear correction or update note when it is helpful for readers.
Developing stories
Some football stories involve information that changes quickly, including transfers, injuries, squad lists and fixture updates. In these cases, articles should distinguish confirmed information from reported or expected information.
Archive and historical content
Older articles may remain available for archive value. If historical information later changes, we may update the article or publish a newer article with the latest context.
Reader trust
Corrections are part of responsible publishing. Our priority is to give readers reliable information and maintain trust in our football coverage.
