Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: September 20, 2025

Clear answers about how AloMatches works. We never host or stream illegal content; when video appears, it’s an authorized third-party embed. Our pages are designed for SEO, AdSense compatibility, accessibility, and user privacy.

Legality & Rights

Do you host or stream illegal content?

No. AloMatches does not host, store, restream, or distribute copyrighted TV broadcasts or pirated streams. Where video appears on our pages, it is an authorized, third-party embed shown under that platform’s terms. For rights issues, see DMCA.

Are you affiliated with leagues, clubs, or broadcasters?

No. AloMatches is an independent project and is not affiliated with FIFA, UEFA, CAF, AFC, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, national leagues, clubs, or broadcasters unless explicitly stated. Trademarks/logos remain the property of their owners and may appear only inside official widgets.

What if I find a suspicious or unauthorized embed?

Please notify us via Contact or file a notice on DMCA with the URL and details. We review good-faith reports promptly.

Does fair use apply to content on AloMatches?

We use short, low-resolution images or logos for identification inside third-party widgets and link to sources. Any analysis or short quotes aim to respect applicable fair-use/dealing principles. For removal, see DMCA.

Can users upload videos or streams?

No. We do not offer public video hosting or user uploads. Embedded players come from authorized third parties.

Do you mirror or proxy video files?

No. We do not mirror/proxy video segments or HLS/DASH files. Playback occurs on the official/authorized platform that provides the embed.

How do you handle geo-restricted media?

Some third-party embeds may be geo-restricted by the provider. We do not bypass restrictions or offer circumvention.

Do you sell or license broadcasting rights?

No. AloMatches is an informational hub. We do not sell, license, or broker any broadcasting rights.

How are takedown requests processed?

See DMCA for the required elements. Valid requests are reviewed and actioned where appropriate.

Ads, Affiliates & Monetization

Do you show ads?

Yes, ads may appear and help keep the site free. We avoid intrusive formats.

Do advertisers influence editorial content?

No. Editorial decisions are independent. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled.

Can I block ads?

SEO & Performance

Content & Data Sources

Where do fixtures and metadata come from?

Why can match times differ from TV listings?

Broadcasters and leagues can change schedules at short notice. Check the official source when timing is critical.

Logos/marks remain the property of their owners and usually appear inside third-party widgets. Any thumbnails are low-resolution and for identification.

How do you correct errors?

Report via Contact with the page URL and details. We review and update promptly.

Do you publish full match replays?

No. We may link/embed official highlights or clips if provided, but we don’t host replays.
