Football Single Event Detailed Widget

Add a detailed football match card to a post.

The Single Event Detailed widget shows one football match in detail, including goal scorers, cards and the match officials. It is a separate, newer widget from the existing Single Event widget also available for this sport.

The fastest way to add a Football widget: select the Football icon in the quick-add row below the article body — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list.

Preconditions

  • Your project must have the Football feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if Football widgets V2 does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it.
  • You need permission to create or edit articles.
  • This widget is match-scoped, so you need a specific match.

Adding the Football Single Event Detailed Widget to a post

To set up the widget:

  1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
  2. Below the blocks in the article body is a row of quick-add buttons: the content blocks first, then one icon for each sport enabled on your project, then +. Hover an icon to see its name — the Football icon is hovered here.

  4. Set the widget options. Team controls what it shows.

  5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it.

  6. The match list has Upcoming games, Past games and Interrupted games tabs. They read “No games found” until a team is set; then Upcoming games lists the team’s scheduled matches and Past games its finished ones. If Upcoming games stays empty, the team has no scheduled matches — open Past games. Select the specific match you want — the widget has nothing to show until one is checked. Once a match is checked, Display main events and Display Penalties appear below the list.

Good to know

Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing.

  • The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows.
  • The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set.
