The links collection lists all the websites of governing bodies such as FIFA and UEFA. It also contains player databases for all levels of competition, from National level to club level. The booklist lists some of the books that project members own. These members can be contacted for help in sourcing if information from these books is needed.

The proportion of all articles with an assessed project banner is:
95.5% assessed (estimate: some more article talk pages may still need a banner)
The proportion of all articles with known importance is:
64.6% known importance (estimate: some more articles may still need a banner)

[edit] Nominations for deletion and page moves
- Important
- If you're thinking about nominating an article for deletion (only articles, not templates or categories), please consider the following two alternative options:
- Does the article meet the criteria for speedy deletion? If so, just tag it with one of the speedy deletion tags and an administrator will delete it (as long as they agree).
- Is the deletion likely to be uncontested? If so then add a proposed deletion tag to it instead; if uncontested after seven days, the article will be automatically deleted.
Only if you think the deletion will be contested and debated is it necessary to go through AfD.
When listing a deletion or page move nomination here, please copy-paste the relevant notice to the discussion:
- * <small>'''Note''': This discussion has been included in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football#Nominations for deletion and page moves|WikiProject Football]]'s list of association football-related deletions. ~~~~</small>
- * <small>'''Note''': This discussion has been included in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football#Nominations for deletion and page moves|WikiProject Football]]'s list of association football-related page moves. ~~~~</small>
- Once you have nominated an article for PROD or AfD, it is considered polite to inform the article's creator of the decision so that they have a chance to contest the deletion if need be. Templates for informing article creators can be found in the tag links above.
Old deletion nominations can be found in the archives:
