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: hover any block and click the Football icon directly — 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 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:
- Open an article for editing, or create a new one.
- Hover over a block in the article body. A row of icons appears, one for each sport enabled on your project — the Football icon is highlighted here.

- Select the Football icon, then choose Single Event Detailed from the widget list that opens.

- Set the widget options. Team, Display main events, Display Penalties, Refresh time control what it shows.

- 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.

- Setting a team reveals a list of that team’s matches, grouped under Upcoming games, Past games and Interrupted games tabs. Select the specific match you want — the widget has nothing to show until one is checked.

- When done, select Save Block.

- Hover the widget block and select the preview control to see the real widget.
Football Single Event Detailed Widget options
- Team (required) — The team whose data you want to show. Type to search.
- Display main events — Highlights standout events (such as decisive plays) directly on the match card, for sports that record them.
- Display Penalties — Shows the penalty shootout breakdown, if the match was decided by one.
- Refresh time — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting.
What the Football Single Event Detailed Widget shows
By default the widget lists, for a finished match:
- Scorer — goal scorer: the player and minute for each goal, including own goals
- Card — booking: yellow and red cards, with the player and minute
Preview of the Football Single Event Detailed Widget
The widget shows the match result with the venue, referee, and a list of goals and cards underneath.

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.
