This page is part of the WikiProject on Football and is a collection of sources and external links related to association football. This page is intended to serve as an easy to access list to sources related to football articles that editors can reference when updating articles, although many do not qualify as reliable sources. In particular the players by club section is intended as an aid to those editors seeking to find information on players not listed on the soccerbase website. For a list of print resources owned by WikiProject members, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Booklist.
