Who is responsible
Soccer Addicted is edited by Lucas G. de Moraes, who is accountable for everything published across the seven editions. The newsroom can be reached at contact@socceraddicted.com.
How we report
Our news starts from established outlets and official competition data. Every transfer story names its sources in the body text and lists the original links at the end, so readers can check for themselves.
A rumour is not a fact: transfer coverage states how reliable the information is, and we never present an ongoing negotiation as a done deal.
How artificial intelligence is used
Source monitoring does not use AI: the system reads feeds from established outlets and official data, groups them by entity and scores them deterministically. AI comes in afterwards, to draft stories and localise content for seven markets, and it never publishes on its own: news and guides are reviewed by a human editor before going live, and the editor decides what ships.
Match pages follow their own rule, and it has two sides. The supporting text is generated deterministically from official data (teams, kick-off, score, standings), with no language model at all: it only writes what is in the data, and there are no invented line-ups, incidents or statistics, because nothing there is capable of inventing them. The goal sheet, where it appears, is the opposite: it is verified by hand against official sources, by two independent readers, and the source is stated on the page. Goalscorers and minutes are published only once they have been through that check.
AI-generated illustrations are always labelled as such in the caption. We do not use AI images that depict real people realistically.
Errors and corrections
We make mistakes like any newsroom, and we fix them quickly. Found an error? Write to contact@socceraddicted.com with the article link. Material corrections are made in the text and the page's update date changes to record the change.
Independence
We do not publish paid content disguised as journalism. The site is funded by programmatic advertising, which is always visually distinct from editorial content and never influences what we cover.
