Opened this issue · 2 comments

The following tournaments need to be checked against Wikipedia and/or rsssf:

  • African Cup of Nations qualification
  • Caribbean Games
  • Meredeka Cup
  • CECAFA Championship
  • Asian Cup qualification
  • South East Asian Games
  • Palestine Cup of Nations
  • Beijing Friendship Tournament
  • Indian Ocean Island Games
  • South Asian Games
  • Asian Games
  • Copa Amilcar Cabral
  • African Games
  • African Games qualification
  • Panamerican Games
  • Matthews Cup
  • South Pacific Mini Games
  • CEDEAO Cup
  • Copa Mercosur
  • Dakar Tournament
  • Pan Arab Games
  • Black Stars Tournament
  • Carlsberg Cup
  • Shell Caribbean Cup
  • Shell Caribbean Cup qualification
  • Intercontinental Championship
  • Jeux de la Francophonie
  • Copa Ministerio de Vivienda
  • Cup of Ancient Civilizations
  • Afro-Asian Games
  • Torneio Vale do Tejo
  • LG Cup
  • Tiger Cup
  • TIFOCO
  • Coupe de la CEMAC
  • Bolivarian Games
  • King's Cup
  • COSAFA Cup
  • Baltic Cup
  • Arab Cup

Things to look out for:

  • Add missing matches
  • Correct tournament name if a match already exists as a friendly (many such cases)
  • Make sure no B-teams or U-21 etc get through
  • Matches between A-teams in a tournament with non-A-teams are acceptable
  • Add a shootout if it exists
  • Some of these tournaments might not be full A-tournaments at all; in that case, existing matches should be removed from the database; they might be listed as friendlies as well
  • Any other tournament not in the above list can be checked as well; major tournaments are all correct as are ones between non-FIFA nations (though those haven't been checked for penalty shootouts)

Hi, In regards to rssf, how do I do that? do you have some procedures/tips?

Probably just google rsssf + the tournament name and see what comes up. It's a very badly organized website so there is no automated way of doing things. Will just have to comb through the results.
