Soccer APIs - Team Captains
December 2nd, 2025
We’ve added team captain indicators to our Soccer API and Soccer Extended API.
Use the captain attribute in the Competitor Profile to identify a team’s captain, and use the role.type attribute in the Player Profile to see when it equals team_captain, giving you clear visibility into team leadership in your integrations.
