EDITORIAL ROOM PROFILE ACTIVE SINCE 2021

An independent soccer newsroom built to verify every minute and frame pitchside.

Penalnaro is an Austin sports editorial desk directed by Elena Petrova. Founded in 2021, we bring newsroom discipline to soccer clubs, youth development academies, and regional tournament organizers across Texas, treating local fixtures with the same journalistic rigor as professional leagues.

Prospective Partner Query // Texas Soccer Club
"Are you an actual Austin sports desk with credentials, or just another remote social media agency selling canned templates?"

Club board evaluating media partners. Previous vendor was an out-of-state freelancer who used generic stock graphics, misidentified starting defenders, and never attended a match.

Our physical media desk is located at 701 West Riverside Drive, Austin, Texas 78704, Austin, Texas, United States.

When your players walk out on pitch in Round Rock, Onion Creek, or South Austin, our camera operators and editors are physically stationed on the touchline with telephoto sports glass.

EDITORIAL DISCIPLINE PITCHSIDE CODE OF CONDUCT

How Penalnaro operates along the touchline.

Operating a camera along a live athletic boundary requires professional discipline. We enforce four fundamental standards on every assignment:

01 // REFEREE & OFFICIAL NEUTRALITY ZERO INCIDENT INFLUENCE

We do not dispute referee decisions, we never show video replays to coaching staff or match officials during play, and we remain outside the assistant referee's running corridor at all times.

02 // PLAYER WELFARE & INJURY PRIVACY PROTECTION STANDARDS

In the event of serious on-pitch player injuries or medical staff intervention, cameras are pointed down. We do not publish sensationalized footage of injured youth players under any circumstance.

03 // FACTUAL MINUTE LOGGING ZERO FICTIONAL STATS

Goal times, card incidents, and substitution records are synchronized directly with the official referee sheet. We never invent match stats or misattribute goals for social engagement.

04 // TRANSPARENT OWNERSHIP & LICENSING CLUB INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Under our production agreements, clubs receive full operational rights to distribute finished video reels and roster photographs across their team platforms without recurring licensing royalties.

OPERATIONAL REFUSALS WHAT WE REFUSE TO DO

Honest boundaries

We believe in absolute transparency about what Penalnaro does not do:

  • We do not provide uncredited stock photography or fake 3D renders.
  • We do not enter the technical area or pitch without formal league accreditation.
  • We do not use automated AI writing tools to generate fake match reports.
  • We do not quote speculative prices: our rates are strictly 150–300 USD/hr, 500 USD/session, 444 USD/reel, 555 USD/half-day, and 3000–7500 USD/mo.

Read our binding Terms of Service and Service Standards & SLA for complete operational rules.
