Community Guidelines

Footymatch is for finding love, friendship and matchday mates. Here's how we keep the terrace safe for everyone.

Respect wins the league

Bring the same energy you'd want back. Rivalry is fine. Cruelty isn't. No slurs, no dehumanising language, ever.

Be yourself

Use recent photos of you. No pictures of celebrities, other people, or filters that hide your face. Verify your photo to earn the Supporter badge.

Adults only

Footymatch is for people aged 18 and over. Any profile suggesting under-18 is banned and, where required, reported.

Consent is everything

No unsolicited explicit messages or photos. If someone doesn't reply, move on — one polite follow-up is fine, three isn't.

Report, don't retaliate

See something dodgy — a fake, a harasser, someone underage? Hit the three-dots menu → Report. We look at every one.

Zero tolerance

Automatic ban for: hate speech, harassment, sexual content involving minors, threats of violence, spam, scams, or impersonation.

If someone is in danger

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. To report a crime that has happened, call 101 or use report-it.org.uk. Support for anyone impacted by relationship abuse: refuge.org.uk.
