THE GOLO

The front page of football.

For publishers

Last updated 14 October 2026

What THE GOLO gives back

THE GOLO helps good football reporting travel further, across language, country and format.

It doesn’t replace original journalism. It makes the work of reporters, specialist outlets, independent writers, podcasters and video makers easier to find, and sends readers to them.

Football journalism is strongest when good reporting can cross borders without losing its source, context or independence. THE GOLO doesn’t own the news; it builds better paths to the people who report it.

Powered by THE GOLO

THE GOLO can support publishers, not only compete with them. A “Powered by THE GOLO” football desk on your site could add other countries’ coverage while sending readers to the original sources.

What THE GOLO is

A front page of football in country editions, created and curated by PeerSpots.

It lists headlines and sends readers to the original. No one pays for a place on it, and no commercial relationship influences what it selects.

What we use

We read your public RSS or Atom feed about every 15 minutes, under our own name: TheGolo/1.0 (+https://thegolo.com/publishers). A YouTube channel’s latest videos come through YouTube’s own Data API instead.

The logo is a small icon kept with the site or fetched once through Google’s favicon service, and served from thegolo.com: readers never load anything from your site through us.

For some publications we also read the football homepage about every 15 minutes, like a reader, to see which stories it marks as breaking news and, every two hours, what it leads with. What we see there informs our editors and never appears on THE GOLO.

What we never use

We open an article page only when an editor adds a link by hand (to suggest its title, author and time, which the editor checks), when a headline reaches us garbled by a wrong character encoding (to read your headline from the page’s own title tags), or before a publication becomes a source, when our source scout (an AI assistant whose proposals an editor approves or rejects) reads its site and a few recent pieces to judge the work.

An AI model reads the headline only (with your publication’s web address and the time), to help score it and group it with other versions of the same story. Its words never appear on THE GOLO, and we don’t train any model on your work.

Every link goes straight to your page; we only drop tracking parameters (such as utm_) from your feed’s links. Our pages count a click on its way out, as a daily total, without changing the link. The one exception is our email, The Golo Daily: there a click is counted at thegolo.com/r/…, then sent on to your page, with nothing added.

Where your headlines appear

Opting out

Write to [email protected] from your organisation, naming your domain (or your channel or show on a shared host such as YouTube or a podcast platform).

We can take you out entirely: we stop reading your feed (and your homepage, if we watch it) and remove your work from everywhere listed above, past entries included. Emails already sent can’t be recalled.

Or we change one thing:

It takes effect as soon as an editor records it (a page already cached catches up within a minute), and you can come back at any time.

Corrections

A wrong publication name, author, time or link? Write to [email protected] and we’ll correct it.

The traffic we send you

Ask [email protected] for the clicks THE GOLO sent to your site: daily totals from our pages for up to the past 400 days, and the clicks on your links in each issue of The Golo Daily.

These are totals only. We keep no data about individual readers. Our pages count clicks with a small script, so readers without JavaScript aren’t counted.
