SportsPress for Football (Soccer)

Configure SportsPress for football (soccer) with sport-specific terminology and an automatically-created Own Goals performance type that hides own goals from the standard box score and appends them to the scoring summary.

What it does

  • Sets the SportsPress default sport to soccer

  • Remaps labels for football conventions (Events → Matches, Venues → Grounds, Teams → Clubs — see Terminology)

  • On activation, creates an Own Goals performance post (slug owngoals, icon soccerball, color #d4000f) if one doesn't exist

  • Hides own goals from the standard event box score via sportspress_event_box_score_labels

  • Hides own goals from match stats via sportspress_match_stats_labels

  • Appends own goals to the players' goal display in the team performance summary

  • Adds "OG" to the SportsPress text options table for label localisation

Requirements

  • SportsPress 2.3 or newer
