Data Sources

Where Eleven’s football data comes from
Eleven uses API-Football, a third-party football-data provider, for competitions, clubs, players, fixtures, and match statistics across the leagues Eleven supports.
How it’s used
Eleven normalizes that provider data into its own internal fantasy system — players, clubs, and fixtures are stored and identified by Eleven’s own records, not the provider’s. Fantasy scoring itself is calculated entirely by Eleven, using Eleven’s own scoring rules applied to that underlying statistical data — it is not a score API-Football itself produces or endorses.
Data limitations
Third-party football data can be delayed, corrected after the fact, incomplete, affected by postponements, or otherwise changed. Eleven reflects the data available to it at the time, and may recompute affected fantasy scores if the underlying data is later corrected (see our Terms of Use).
No official partnership
Using real competition, club, and player data does not imply an official partnership with, endorsement by, or license from, any football league, competition, club, governing body, or API-Football itself beyond Eleven’s own use of its data service. See our Disclaimer.
Provider identity vs. Eleven’s identity
Any identifiers API-Football uses internally for players, clubs, or fixtures are external mapping details — they are not Eleven’s own canonical product identity, and are not exposed as part of the Eleven experience.
Attribution
We have reviewed the provider documentation and terms available to us, but have not yet conclusively determined every specific attribution obligation that may apply. Treat that as an open human/legal review item rather than a settled position — see our Disclaimer for the full list of pending reviews. If you represent API-Football or believe a specific attribution requirement applies, please contact us at robert@quinterodigital.com.
