Our mission is to breathe light into the global football ecosystem through the innovative fusion of data, creativity, and the open, collaborative power of the community.
We began as the openfooty project, an endeavour to break the stranglehold of mega-corporations who dictated what fans could see and what developers could build. We opened the floodgates by providing the most advanced football content API of its time, empowering a generation of creators.
Today, the challenge has evolved. The new gatekeepers are opaque algorithms and centralized data silos. Our mission has therefore expanded: we are evolving into a Web 3.0 foundation, dedicated to building a truly open, transparent, and intelligent future for the beautiful game.
"Open solutions enable the ecosystem to discover the optimal value... whereas less open systems are at the mercy of their creator having guessed at the optimal solution in the first place."
"This is for everyone."
The inventor of the World Wide Web shared his vision on the world's biggest stage. We carry that same ethos. We believe the beautiful game, and the data that surrounds it, is for everyone too.
Cutting-edge solutions that combine technical expertise with creative vision
Our finely tuned data models live and breathe football. We develop AI Footy Agents that go beyond simple stats, offering deep tactical analysis, player performance prediction, and even generating culturally-aware commentary for any match, team, or player.

Before 'AI' was a buzzword and 'the cloud' was just... the sky, we were there. Openfooty is built by two tribes that have always understood the power of community: football fan geeks and home computer geeks. We were the kids who fell in love with computers back when the internet was in black and white, when the hum of a floppy disk drive was the most exciting sound in the world. We weren't just users; we were tinkerers, dreamers, and builders.
Our football education wasn't just on the terraces; it was honed by the top-down genius of Sensible Soccer and the blistering pace of Kick Off on the Amiga. We learned tactics from joysticks and transfers from the glossy pages of Shoot magazine, circling our dream signings with a biro.
That era was defined by two powerful, parallel movements: the raw, unfiltered passion of grassroots football and the collaborative spirit of the home computer hobbyist scene. Both were built by people creating things—teams, leagues, fanzines, games—out of pure love for the craft, not for a payday. It was about sharing, tinkering, and making something cool for your mates.
That is the DNA of Openfooty. We bring that same core philosophy to everything we build today. It’s about community first, love for the game, and using technology to open up possibilities, not to lock them down. We're still those kids, just with slightly better tools.
Where the beautiful game meets beautiful data.
This is our “We Actually Give a Toss” policy about how we build our AI. It’s written in human-speak, not silicon-fuelled techno-waffle.
At Openfooty, we’re building an open, collaborative ecosystem for football data and creativity. We believe the AI that powers it should:
This FAQ explains how we build our AI agents, digital twins, and generative tools to reflect those values.
Quite the opposite. Our goal is to provide powerful tools that inspire creativity and insight, and then encourage you to go and apply them in the real world. We’re here to help you create, not to get you hooked.
To that end, we design our systems to:
We are not in the business of building digital addictions. We're here to build things that empower you, and then politely leave you alone when you’re done.
No. Our AI Footy Agents are experts on football data, and our creative AI can write a cracking comedy script, but they are not a substitute for professional advice.
If you’re struggling, we will always try to direct you to qualified human professionals.
Absolutely not. Our AI systems will never:
That’s the territory of the opaque algorithms and centralized data silos we’re fighting against. We’re building an open, transparent foundation, not a cult.
Clarity: We’ll always be upfront about what is AI-generated. No sneaky stuff.
Privacy: We are crystal clear about what data is used and always respect your privacy (see our Privacy Policy for details).
Integrity: We don’t use our AI to upsell, manipulate, or influence political opinions. Our focus is on creativity and insight.
Live Generation: Our generative systems create content live—nothing is pre-scripted or designed to be biased.
We have robust safety nets in place:
Our tools are primarily aimed at users aged 16+ with strict age verification controls in place to ensure they are not misused.
This policy isn’t set in stone. As the technology evolves and we get feedback from the community, we’ll update how our AI behaves and where the boundaries lie. If you have a concern or an idea, please get in touch: team@openfooty.org.
We believe in the power of data and creativity to illuminate the world of football. But we also believe in rest, reflection, and touching grass occasionally. We're here to build tools that delight and empower, not exhaust.
Help us continue pioneering data-driven football development and a truly open, transparent ecosystem for the beautiful game. Every contribution makes a difference.
