Partnerships

Prime Match Report considers collaborations that fit its focus on understanding association football. Commercial work is kept distinct from editorial coverage, and readers should be able to recognise partner material at a glance.

Suitable collaborations

We consider clearly scoped projects such as reader resources, educational explainers and relevant campaigns that can be presented transparently alongside football literacy content. A proposal should identify the partner, intended audience, format, placement and any requested review or approval process.

Partner placements

Prime Match Report may accept labelled partner placements that appear across the publication, including clearly marked display or referral placements. Their position does not imply editorial endorsement. We do not disguise advertising as independent reporting or allow payment to determine an editorial conclusion.

Labels and editorial boundaries

Paid, sponsored or otherwise partner-supported content is identified in plain language at the point readers encounter it. Editorial articles remain under editorial control. We may decline work that conflicts with the publication's subject, obscures who is responsible for a message or asks us to present an unverified claim as fact.

Making an enquiry

Use the Contact page to describe the idea, intended format, audience, timing and relevant commercial details. A clear proposal helps us assess fit; an enquiry does not imply acceptance or a commitment to publish.
