What openfootball does

Repositories cover England and Wales, Europe, Austria, Italy, South America, world leagues, the World Cup including 2026, and a clubs and stadiums dataset, alongside a league starter template. The football.json repository covers the English Premier League, Bundesliga, Primera División and Serie A, and is described as needing no API key. Most repositories are marked CC0-1.0. The project describes itself as aimed at developers who want open data to build their own football databases, leagues and cups.
