About GoalCodex

What is GoalCodex?

GoalCodex is a football statistics platform focused on goals and matches. The database covers more than 140 countries, 800+ competitions, and over a decade of match data from 2011 onwards — continuously growing.

You can search and filter historical data across competitions, teams, and players: how many penalties a striker scored in a specific season, which team conceded the most own goals, every match result for a club in a given year, or a complete head-to-head record between any two sides.

What You Can Do

• Browse goals by country, organisation, team, or player
• Browse match results by country, organisation, or team
• Filter by season, penalty, own goal, home/away, stadium, and more
• See scorer and assist player for each goal where available
• Compare any two players or teams side by side
• Look up the full head-to-head record between any two clubs
• Export results to CSV (Pro subscribers)
• Search the entire database using plain-language queries via the AI assistant (Pro)

Who Is It For?

• Fans who want to look up a player's goal record or a club's season history
• Journalists & commentators who need quick, accurate numbers on deadline
• Analysts & scouts tracking scoring patterns across teams or competitions
• Researchers & bloggers who want raw data they can work with

How It Started

GoalCodex started as a personal project — a frustration with how hard it was to find clean, queryable goal data without scraping multiple sites or paying for expensive data feeds. The question was simple: which player scored the most penalties in the 2016/17 La Liga season? Getting that answer took more effort than it should have.

The first version was a simple filterable table. It grew from there: more competitions, richer filters, individual player and team pages, full match records, head-to-head comparisons, and eventually the AI assistant that lets you search the entire database in plain English.

Our Commitment

We care about accuracy above all else. Bad data is worse than no data. Our match data is licensed from a commercial sports data API that covers professional football competitions worldwide. Occasional gaps or inaccuracies can occur — a missing assist, a wrong minute, or a result that hasn't synced yet. We review and correct reported issues as quickly as possible.

Data accuracy is a continuous process, not a one-time import. Every time a competition result is updated, a scorer corrected, or an assist added, GoalCodex reflects it within 24 hours. If you spot something wrong, the contact page goes straight to the people who maintain it.
