# List Competitors

> Search football teams and national sides

## What it returns

Substring search over competitor names. Each result carries `icon_path` — a **club crest** for clubs or a **country flag** for national sides — and `is_national` so you can tell them apart.

Logos are re-hosted on our CDN, so `icon_path` is a stable URL you can serve directly.

## Required scope

Authenticates with `X-API-Key`; the key's `sport_allowlist` must include `soccer`.
