Who we are
Africa Sport News covers African sport in English, French and Arabic. This page sets out what the site is, who is responsible for it, and how the material on it comes to exist.
The short version
africasport.news is a continuously updated sports desk. It follows African football first — the CAF competitions, the domestic leagues, the players abroad — and alongside it boxing, mixed martial arts, rugby and athletics.
Everything is published in three languages at once. A reader in Lagos, Dakar or Cairo gets the same report, not a thinner version of it.
Production is automated. Responsibility is not.
The reporting on this site is assembled and written by software, running without pause, under the direction of a named publisher. We say so on this page rather than burying it, because a reader is entitled to know what produced the text in front of them.
No article here carries the name of a reporter who does not exist. Machine-written work is signed by the desk. Where a human makes an editorial decision — what to cover, what to drop, what to correct — that decision belongs to the publisher, who answers for it.
Where the material comes from
Two streams feed the desk. The first is our own structured record of fixtures, results, tables, squads and player histories, supplied under licence and refreshed continuously. Figures quoted in a report come from this record.
The second is the published reporting of established newsrooms across Africa and beyond. We read it, we do not reproduce it: each report is written in our own words and structure, and the originating publication is credited beneath the story.
What we will not publish
Betting odds, tipping and gambling promotion of any kind. Transfer speculation with no identified source. Reports about private individuals who are not public figures in sport.
Where a claim cannot be traced to a verifiable fact, the item is dropped rather than hedged.
