Some of us are tracking their blocking over at:

https://hayahora.futbol https://tinyuptime.sconde.net

It's not only Cloudflare, but also other not so tiny CDNs are being blocked - currently an entire Backblaze B2 region is blocked in 3 out of 5 ISPs (!).

Particularly hurtful, the entire Cloudflare R2 is blocked during football matches so you can't pull Docker images or Ollama models.

Man, and I was already annoyed that my tax money went to extra police to prevent idiots from fighting and wrecking stuff around matches.

I for one think that football streaming should be blocked when I'm pulling docker images ;)

The amount of resources that goes into soccer in many countries is really astonishing. It can be seen as a modern equivalent to bread and circuses however.

You should probably check Github as well. We have consistent problems connecting to github during football matches
