Q4: What is the difference between covered and licensed?
A4: Licensed clubs are part of Sorare, and thus, their player cards will be sold on the platform and their score will count towards SO5 tournaments. Covered means that if a player is in a league/team which is covered by Sorare, their scores will be provided by Opta and can therefore be used in SO5. A great example of this is Gabriel who went from Lille to Arsenal.

B: The player moves to a non-licensed club, but one that plays in a covered league. Such player will not have new cards, but his scores will count for his new club.
C: The player moves to a club from a non-covered league. There will be no new cards and the player’s score will no longer count.
