1) Editorial Independence & Opinions

Content on Futbol Index consists of news reporting, analysis, and opinion. Views are those of the individual author and do not represent the views of any club, league, federation, sponsor, employer, or other organization unless expressly stated.

Futbol Index is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any club, player, league, federation, or rights holder (including, without limitation, the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, UEFA, or FIFA). References to names, fixtures, crests, kits, or competitions are for identification and commentary only and do not imply endorsement.

3) Information‑Only; No Professional Advice

All content is provided for general information and discussion. It is not legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice, and should not be relied on as such. Your use of the site and reliance on any information is at your own risk.

5) Defamation, Privacy & Right of Reply

We do not publish with intent to harm reputation. Allegations are handled cautiously and sourced where possible.
