About CIEGOL
An archive of full football matches to watch as if they were live, with nothing giving away the result.
Why it exists
Watching an old match on YouTube almost always ends the same way: the title, the thumbnail or the comments tell you the result before you press play. Even the length of the video or a celebration shot gives it away. CIEGOL exists so you can watch those matches with the excitement intact.
How it works
- No clues: the fixtures and match pages never show the score. When you press «Watch spoiler-free», the video opens in a player that hides the original title and thumbnail.
- You decide when to find out: the result only appears if you ask for it. Before kick-off you can predict it in our prediction game and check at the end whether you got it right.
- For when you don't know what to watch: the draw on the home page picks a match at random, with a slider to choose famous or obscure. And the games section tests how much you know about football.
Where the matches come from
CIEGOL hosts no videos. They all play from YouTube and come from the official channels of leagues, federations and clubs (LaLiga, the FA, Serie A, Concacaf, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund…), which publish them for anyone to watch. If a channel removes a video or blocks it in your country, we take it off the fixtures.
If you are a rights holder and don't want a video to appear here, write to us from the copyright page and we will remove it promptly.
Who is behind it
CIEGOL is an independent project by Silvestre Luna Cobo, made by fans who would rather not know the result. It has no connection with any club, league or with YouTube. It is funded by advertising, which we keep out of the player.
