Legal · Using Goat Arena
Terms & Conditions
These terms explain the rules for using Goat Arena, what you can expect from us, and the limits of what the site can promise, in plain language.
Last updated: October 31, 2026
Agreeing to These Terms
By visiting or using goatarena.org ("Goat Arena", "we", "us") you agree to these Terms and Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
What Goat Arena Is
Goat Arena is an independent football website with player and team comparisons, statistics, honours and records, transfer listings, quizzes, articles and community features. The content is provided for information and entertainment.
Goat Arena is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by FIFA, UEFA, any league, club, national team, player or other organisation mentioned on the site.
Using the Website
You may use Goat Arena for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- use the site unlawfully, or in a way that harms, disrupts or overloads it;
- try to gain unauthorised access to the site, its database or its accounts;
- use bots, scripts or other automated means to scrape the site in bulk or to submit votes, quiz results or form entries;
- attempt to manipulate community votes, results or leaderboards (for example by submitting repeated or automated votes);
- upload or submit anything unlawful, abusive, hateful, defamatory or that infringes someone else's rights.
Voting and Interactive Features
Community votes, polls, quizzes and similar features are for fun. Vote results are a snapshot of how participating visitors voted. They are not a scientific survey and do not prove who the greatest player is.
We may use technical safeguards to protect these features from abuse, and we may remove, adjust or reset votes or results that appear to be duplicated, automated or manipulated. We may change, pause or remove any interactive feature at any time.
Messages, Corrections and Feedback
If you send us a message, a correction or an idea through the Contact Us page or by email, you confirm that you are entitled to share it. You allow us to use your feedback to improve Goat Arena without owing you payment or credit. We read all submissions but we are not obliged to reply to or act on them.
If we offer features that let you post public content such as comments, you are responsible for what you post. We may moderate, edit or remove content that breaks these Terms.
Accuracy and Data Limitations
We work to keep our statistics, honours, records and transfers accurate, as described in our Editorial Policy. Football data is complex: sources can disagree, definitions differ between providers, historical records are sometimes incomplete, and information changes as competitions progress.
Statistics, rankings and comparison results are provided as information and are not a definitive judgement of any player or team. Transfer fees and other figures that come from media reports are reported figures, not official statements, unless we say otherwise. Please check an official source before relying on a figure for an important purpose.
Intellectual Property
The Goat Arena name, logo, design, text, original articles, code and the way our data is selected and arranged belong to Goat Arena or its licensors and are protected by law. You may share links to our pages and quote short extracts with a clear credit and link back. You may not copy, republish, sell or build a competing product from our content without our written permission.
Player names, club names, crests, logos, photographs and competition names belong to their respective owners and are used to identify the people and organisations the content is about. If you are a rights holder and believe something on the site should be changed or removed, please contact us and we will look into it promptly.
Third-Party Links and Advertising
Goat Arena links to external websites and may show advertising supplied by third parties. We do not control those websites or advertisers and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.
Disclaimers
Goat Arena is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not promise that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that its content will always be accurate, complete or up to date.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Goat Arena and the people who run it are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your reliance on information on the site or from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot legally be limited.
Changes and Availability
We may update these Terms, and change, suspend or discontinue any part of the website, at any time. When the Terms change materially we will publish the new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continuing to use Goat Arena after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
We may restrict access for anyone who breaks these Terms.
