Redirects

This template uses Lua:

Template:Soccerway displays an external link to an association football (soccer) player's profile at Soccerway.com.

In 2025, Soccerway.com switched to the same player ID used at Flashscore.com; see Template:Flashscore and Flashscore player ID (P8259). Many old Soccerway player IDs redirect to the new ID. The |archive= parameter may be used to display an archived copy of the original from the Internet Archive.
