Sporting CP Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Hugo Viana — The statement that Viana scored four goals across all competitions for Newcastle is incorrect; he scored 3 goals in all competitions for Newcastle United (2 in the Premier League and 1 in the UEFA Cup).

Hugo Viana — The mention of a 'Gary Rest In Peace' T-shirt in 2011 is inaccurate: Viana wore a T-shirt with the message 'Gary Speed RIP' during a match in 2011, not 'Gary Rest In Peace'.

Maniche — Maniche and Deco were not the two Portuguese players on Adidas' Golden Ball shortlist for the 2006 World Cup; the shortlist included multiple players, and Deco was not on it. The correct fact is that Maniche was the only Portuguese player on the 10-man shortli

Maniche — Maniche was not chosen Man of the Match in the 2004 Intercontinental Cup; the Man of the Match award for that final (Porto vs. Once Caldas) was given to Porto's goalkeeper Vítor Baía, not Maniche.

Eusébio — The entry states Eusébio is the greatest icon of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, but the fan encyclopedia is about Sporting CP, not Benfica. Eusébio never played for or was associated with Sporting CP.

José Alvalade — Cristiano Ronaldo played for Sporting CP in the 2002–03 season and transferred to Manchester United in August 2003, before the new stadium's opening match on 6 August 2003. He did not play any competitive league games for Sporting CP at the new stadium.

Vítor Baía — The entry misspells the opponent's name as 'Vítoria' instead of 'Vitória' in the debut match description.

Vítor Baía — The claim that Baía won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup as a starter or key player is misleading; he was on the bench for the final and did not play, so the achievement of having won all three major UEFA club competitions is factually inaccurate.

Final da Taça das Taças 1987 — The entry states Sporting CP's first European final was the 1964 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, but the competition was called the European Cup Winners' Cup at that time.

Estádio Nacional — The original Estádio José Alvalade opened in 1956, but it was not located in Lisbon's Campo Grande area; it was located in the Lumiar parish, near the Campo Grande area.

Estádio Nacional — The entry implies sole credit to architect João Simões for the original 1956 stadium, but it was designed by a team including João Simões and others (e.g., Anselmo Fernandez), making the exclusive credit misleading.
