Submission Guidelines
Be on topic This subreddit is for the discussion of soccer/football. Threads requesting GIFs, and threads about betting, video games, surveys, fantasy football, kits, buying/selling/trading merchandise or tickets, fundraising, or meta discussion of /r/soccer are not allowed and will be removed. If you want to make a meta post then message the mods first. Also ensure that your post is interesting for football reasons (e.g. a goal or a display of ability) rather than something unrelated to football that happened at a football match.
No shit-posting Jokes, memes, reaction GIFs, comments disguised as submissions, trolling or other content detrimental to the subreddit will be removed.
No spam Read the reddit-wide rules on spam here. Please be aware that spam will absolutely not be tolerated.
No NSFW content Content with gore, nudity or sexual themes is not welcome.
No unnecessarily low quality content URL shortners, screenshots where links suffice (e.g. a screenshot of a tweet instead of linking the tweet directly) or attempts to use /r/soccer as google (e.g. requesting match times) are not welcome.
No Duplicates Check /r/soccer/new! Sometimes mods will allow the same news story to be posted if the new article offers new/valuable information that the previous thread didn't or the duplicate was submitted long enough after the original that readers may not have seen the original. As a rule of thumb, if you're not sure, then don't post a duplicate.
Only valuable image submissions Basically, images that promote newsworthy discussion are permitted (e.g. infographics) and images that are just 'look at this cool thing' are removed (fan tifos, pictures of players, stadiums). See the faq for more details.
You must provide sources for news/quotes
Please use factual and objective titles Submissions may be removed if the title is too vague, inflammatory or partisan. If you are posting a recent goal then you must minimally mention the player and the opposition, it's also preferred if you put the current score of the match in the title. If you post a GIF/video from the past then mention when it's from and what players/teams are involved. The more information you put in the title of a GIF/video the better.
Match Threads If you'd like to create a match thread, make sure you comply with the policy here.
