Can you promote in r/worldcup?
The internet's home for the FIFA World Cup, including match threads, news, discussion, and more!
The short answer
Do not promote your product or company publicly; participate as a normal fan, answer questions without linking or pitching, and contact the mods if you are a journalist with high-quality coverage.
What works here
- engage in general discussion and match threads
- answer user questions with neutral, useful info
- link reputable sources for news (when relevant)
- use specified megathreads (tickets, official apps thread) per rules
What gets posts removed
- posting or commenting to promote your app, website, product, or merch
- soliciting customers, leads, surveys or recruitment
- posting promotional links or commercial offers
- bragging or subtle marketing (ban applies)
