Share data
Help us map the world's football data. It is anonymous, with no account and no tracking.
ID mappings: provider-to-provider (e.g. Transfermarkt ID → Opta ID), ideally with name or DOB for cross-referencing.
Player data: IDs with bio info: date of birth, nationality, current team, position. Also useful: alternate name spellings, height, shirt number. We strip all proprietary stats.
Teams: IDs with league, country, division, or historical/alternate names (e.g. "Spurs"), stadium, founding year.
Coaches: IDs with playing career IDs from the same provider, since many coaches have separate player entities.
Competitions: IDs with country, aliases, or tier.
Seasons: IDs with competition and human-readable label (e.g. "24-25").
CSV preferred. Any format with provider IDs works.
