Provenance

Sources and licences

Lega Serie A match archive

The v5 playable release is verified offline against public Lega Serie A season results and match lineup cards. Tactical coordinates are aggregated by stable player, club and season. Only derived records, source URLs and evidence hashes are published; the game does not call Lega Serie A while a visitor plays.

StatsBomb Open Data

StatsBomb Open Data is retained with the attribution requested by that project and cross-checks the complete 2015/16 lineup archive. A source is attached to a record only when the current snapshot actually uses it.

Historical squad archive

Older research-only roster identities may use individually linked English Wikipedia season pages under CC BY-SA 4.0. These broad categories never make a record playable. Classic playable roles are stored in a separate human-reviewed map bound to repeated official same-season lineup cards.

Verification layers

OpenFootball Italy and Wikidata are CC0 verification candidates. They are not attributed to a record until that record has been compared with the source.

Independent product

Draft Serie A is not affiliated with Lega Serie A, any club, player, EA Sports or an official football rating provider. Names and historical facts identify the archive context; official crests and player photography are not used.
