At 90 Min Extra, accuracy is an important part of our approach to sports journalism.
We research our stories before publication and make reasonable efforts to check important information. However, journalism is a continuous process, and mistakes can sometimes occur. Sports news can also change quickly as clubs, players, leagues and competitions release new information.
When we identify a meaningful factual error, we believe the right approach is to correct it clearly and promptly.
This Corrections Policy explains how 90 Min Extra handles errors, updates and reader-reported concerns.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
Our editorial team aims to publish information that is:
- Accurate
- Relevant
- Properly researched
- Clearly presented
- Appropriately attributed
- Updated when important facts change
Before publication, we research the subject and, where practical, cross-check important information against reliable sources.
Despite these efforts, an error can occasionally make its way into a published article.
When that happens, we take the issue seriously.
2. What We Consider a Correction
A correction is generally appropriate when an article contains a meaningful factual error that could affect a reader’s understanding of the story.
Examples may include an incorrect:
- Player name
- Club name
- Match result
- Score
- Date
- Competition
- Transfer status
- Statistic
- Quote
- Event description
- Attribution
- Material factual detail
If an error materially changes the meaning of an article, we will assess it for correction.
3. Minor Changes and Editorial Updates
Not every change to an article represents a formal correction.
We may make minor editorial changes without issuing a separate correction notice.
These can include:
- Typographical errors
- Spelling mistakes
- Grammar
- Formatting
- Headline clarity
- Broken links
- Minor wording improvements
- Updating a time-sensitive detail
Where a minor error does not materially affect the meaning of the article, it may simply be corrected in the published version.
4. Significant Factual Errors
When we identify a significant factual error, we may correct the article directly and, where appropriate, explain what was changed.
Examples of significant errors can include reporting:
- The wrong match result
- The wrong player as involved in an event
- An uncompleted transfer as completed
- An incorrect official decision
- A statement that was materially misrepresented
- A major statistic incorrectly
The way a correction is handled depends on the nature and seriousness of the error.
5. Corrections to Breaking News
Breaking sports news can develop rapidly.
An article may initially reflect information available at the time of publication and later require an update after an official statement or additional reliable information becomes available.
For example, a transfer may initially be reported as being close to completion before a club or player provides further information.
In these circumstances, we may update the article to reflect the latest verified information.
An update does not necessarily mean the original article contained an error. Sometimes it simply means the underlying story has developed.
6. Transfer Corrections and Updates
Transfer stories require particular attention because negotiations can change quickly.
If an article describes a transfer as being reported, expected or under discussion, and the situation later changes, we may update the article to reflect the new information.
If a transfer was incorrectly described as completed when it had not been officially completed, we will treat that as a factual issue requiring correction.
We aim to distinguish clearly between:
Reported interest → Negotiations → Agreement → Official confirmation
These stages should not be treated as interchangeable.
7. Match and Sporting Information
Fixtures, scores, line-ups, player availability and competition information can change during or after sporting events.
If we discover that an article contains incorrect match or competition information, we may update the relevant details.
Where appropriate, we may also add context explaining the change.
8. Reader-Reported Errors
Readers can help us identify mistakes.
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us.
Editorial Corrections Contact
Email: Contact@90minextra.com
Phone: +1 822-982-0383
When contacting us, please provide:
- The article title or URL
- The specific information you believe is incorrect
- What you believe the correct information should be
- A reliable source supporting the correction, where available
Providing supporting evidence helps our editorial team review the issue more efficiently.
9. How We Review Correction Requests
Every correction request may be reviewed based on the available evidence.
Our review may involve:
- Checking the original article
- Reviewing the source used by the journalist
- Checking official statements
- Comparing reliable sources
- Reviewing relevant sporting records
- Checking the date and time of the original report
- Determining whether the information has subsequently changed
Not every correction request will result in a change.
If the published information is supported by reliable evidence, we may leave the article unchanged.
10. Corrections Are Not Based on Popularity
A correction is not made simply because someone disagrees with an article.
Sports coverage can generate strong opinions from supporters, players, clubs and readers.
A disagreement about:
- A tactical interpretation
- An opinion
- A prediction
- An analysis
- A football argument
does not necessarily mean the article contains a factual error.
Our corrections process focuses primarily on factual accuracy and meaningful editorial mistakes.
11. Opinion and Analysis
Opinion and analysis involve interpretation.
We do not normally issue factual corrections simply because a reader disagrees with an author’s conclusion or assessment.
However, factual claims included within analysis or opinion pieces are still expected to be reasonably accurate.
If a material factual error is identified within an opinion or analysis article, we may correct it in the same way as other editorial content.
12. Source Attribution
If an article incorrectly attributes information to a journalist, publication, club, player or other source, we may correct the attribution.
Accurate attribution matters because readers should be able to understand where a particular claim originated.
Where appropriate, we may clarify that information came from another publication, journalist or source rather than being independently obtained by 90 Min Extra.
13. Quotes and Statements
We take published quotations seriously.
If a quote is found to be inaccurate, incomplete in a materially misleading way or incorrectly attributed, we may review and correct the article.
Where a statement has been taken from a public interview, press conference, official statement or other source, we may review the original material when assessing a correction request.
14. Updates Versus Corrections
We distinguish between an update and a correction.
Update
An update adds new information or reflects a development after the original article was published.
Correction
A correction addresses information that was materially inaccurate when it was published.
For example, if a club announces a new development several hours after an article was published, updating the article may be appropriate.
If an article incorrectly stated the identity of a player involved in an event, that may require a correction.
15. Correction Notices
For significant errors, we may include a correction note within the article.
The wording and placement of the notice may depend on the nature of the error.
Where appropriate, a correction may explain:
- What was incorrect
- What the correct information is
- When the correction was made
We aim to be transparent without unnecessarily confusing readers about the current version of the story.
16. Removing Incorrect Information
In some circumstances, information may be removed rather than simply changed.
This may occur when:
- A material claim cannot be supported
- Information was incorrectly attributed
- A significant factual error was published
- Continuing to display the information could mislead readers
The decision will depend on the circumstances and editorial assessment.
17. Archived and Previously Published Content
Older articles may contain information that was accurate at the time but later became outdated.
We do not necessarily treat outdated information as an error.
For example, an article reporting a player as being at a particular club may remain historically accurate even if the player later transfers elsewhere.
Where an old article continues to receive significant readership and the information could reasonably cause confusion, we may add context or update it where appropriate.
18. Corrections to Images, Captions and Media
Corrections may also apply to:
- Photo captions
- Image descriptions
- Video descriptions
- Infographics
- Embedded content
- Other visual information
If a significant mistake is identified in accompanying media or captions, we may correct or replace the affected material.
19. Editorial Independence
Requests for corrections are considered on the evidence available to us.
90 Min Extra does not change factual reporting simply because a club, player, public figure, company or other interested party disagrees with coverage.
At the same time, legitimate evidence that demonstrates a factual error will be reviewed seriously regardless of who brings it to our attention.
20. Good-Faith Reporting
Our corrections process recognises the difference between an honest reporting error and deliberate misinformation.
We make reasonable efforts to research and verify information before publication.
When an honest mistake is identified, our focus is on correcting the record and providing readers with accurate information.

22. Our Standard
The goal of our Corrections Policy is simple:
If we get an important fact wrong, we want to correct it.
We cannot promise that every article will always be error-free. We can, however, commit to researching our stories, taking credible correction requests seriously, reviewing evidence and updating our reporting when the facts require it.
For 90 Min Extra, correcting a mistake is not separate from journalism. It is part of responsible journalism.
