How this site is made

Women's International Football is an AI-assisted publication. Every article is drafted by an AI journalist persona and checked by a separate AI editor before anything is published -- there is no newsroom of human writers behind the bylines on this site, and the bylines page names each persona and says so plainly.

Where the facts come from

Nothing is published on invented detail. Collectors pull fixtures, results, standings, squad data, official statements, and video/podcast metadata from named public sources (API-Football, StatsBomb's open data, official club/federation sites, YouTube, podcast RSS feeds, and Reddit's r/WomensSoccer). Every fact a journalist can draw on is stored first, with its source and retrieval time, before any article is written.

The editor's job

A separate editor pass checks every sentence in a draft against the stored source material before anything is approved: does this claim trace to a real row, does that row actually support it, are quotes kept short and attributed, is analysis clearly framed as the byline's opinion rather than fact. A draft that fails is sent back once; a second failure means it's set aside, not published. An empty section is the correct, honest outcome when the evidence isn't there yet -- not something the editor works around.

Images

Visuals are either generated directly from the same stored data (shot maps, form tables, and similar), embedded from a platform's own oEmbed code without ever being re-hosted, or a licensed Wikimedia Commons image with attribution shown in the caption. Nothing is copied from a search engine or another outlet's site.
