Launched on June 13, 2018, FBref.com has rapidly become a comprehensive resource for football statistics. Starting with coverage of major domestic leagues in England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United States, FBref has expanded its reach to include over 40 countries.

Beyond domestic leagues, the site provides detailed information on domestic cup competitions, super cups, and youth leagues from top European nations. Major international tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores are also extensively covered, making FBref a vital tool for in-depth football analysis.
FBref stands out as the internet’s most complete source for women’s football data.
