Lions12 covers Moroccan football in English, including the Morocco national team, Moroccan players abroad, Botola Pro, and developments across the Moroccan game. This policy explains the editorial principles we aim to follow when preparing and updating content.
Our Editorial Mission
Our aim is to provide readers with useful, accessible, and responsible coverage of Moroccan football. We seek to add context and insight rather than simply repeat headlines.
Accuracy and Verification
We aim to check names, dates, scores, statistics, and other factual details before publication. Where possible, we prioritize official announcements from clubs, competition organizers, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), FIFA, and other credible sources. If information is uncertain or developing, we should make that clear.
Sources and Attribution
When reporting relies on information first published by another outlet or organization, we aim to identify the source and link to it where appropriate. We do not intend to present another publisher’s reporting as original Lions12 reporting. Quotations and third-party material should be used responsibly and with appropriate attribution.
Originality and Added Value
Where possible, articles should add relevant context, analysis, statistics, historical background, or an explanation of what a development means for Moroccan football. We aim to avoid publishing material that merely rewrites another article without meaningful additional value.
Breaking News, Transfers and Rumours
We distinguish official confirmation from media reports, speculation, and unconfirmed rumours. A transfer should not be described as completed unless reliable confirmation is available. As stories develop, we aim to update articles when material new information becomes available.
Fairness and Respect
We aim to cover players, coaches, clubs, officials, and supporters fairly and respectfully. We distinguish allegations from established facts and avoid presenting unsupported claims about people as fact. Coverage should focus on matters relevant to football and the public interest.
Corrections and Updates
If a factual error is brought to our attention and verified, we aim to correct it promptly. Articles may also be updated to reflect significant new information. Readers can report a potential error through our Contact page. Please include the article URL, explain the concern, and provide a reliable source where possible.
Editorial Independence and Advertising
Editorial decisions should be guided by relevance, accuracy, and usefulness to readers. Commercial relationships should not be misrepresented as independent editorial recommendations. Any sponsored content or paid placement, if published, should be clearly identified.
Images, Copyright and Credits
We aim to use images that we own, have permission to use, are appropriately licensed, or are otherwise lawful to use for the intended purpose. Credits and captions should be provided where appropriate. Rights holders may contact us through our Contact page about image use or attribution concerns.
Use of Digital and AI-Assisted Tools
Digital tools, including AI-assisted tools, may support research, translation, organization, or editing. They do not replace editorial review or factual verification. Published content remains subject to editorial responsibility, and automated output should not be treated as a substitute for checking claims and sources.
Reader Feedback
We welcome corrections, questions, and constructive feedback from readers. Please contact us using the Contact page and include relevant links or supporting information where possible.
