Contribute to FIJF
FIJF welcomes careful, source-based public-interest contributions on football integrity, governance, betting risks, referee systems, opaque influence networks, and supporter-group power structures.
Editorial doctrine: FIJF does not publish accusations, rumours, personal attacks, or unsourced claims. We collect public and open-source information, document patterns, preserve the presumption of innocence, and ask public-interest questions. Where information becomes solid, verifiable, and relevant to possible misconduct, FIJF may submit material to competent authorities.
Who can contribute?
- Investigative journalists
- Sports-law writers
- Football governance researchers
- OSINT analysts
- Compliance and integrity specialists
- Academics or students researching sport integrity
- Supporters with verifiable public records, documents, or evidence-based research
What FIJF is looking for
- Public-record timelines
- Football governance case studies
- Referee appointment and integrity analysis
- Betting-related football integrity research
- Ownership, influence, and conflict-of-interest mapping
- Supporter-group power structures and stadium governance concerns
- Documented patterns involving football, politics, money, intimidation, or institutional failure
Contribution rules
- No accusations without reliable sources.
- No anonymous smears or personal vendettas.
- No defamatory language.
- Presumption of innocence is mandatory.
- Public records and reputable reporting are preferred.
- Every factual claim must be source-backed or clearly labelled as a question.
- FIJF may edit, reject, fact-check, anonymize, delay, or decline submissions.
- FIJF may publish a right of reply where appropriate.
Credit and anonymity
Contributors may request public credit, partial credit, or anonymity. FIJF may anonymize contributors where publication could create personal, professional, or safety risk. However, anonymous submissions must still be supported by verifiable information.
Escalation policy
FIJF is a watchdog platform. We publish public-interest material, but we may also escalate solid, verifiable information to competent bodies, including police, prosecutors, regulators, federations, integrity units, or other investigative authorities where appropriate.
