Abstract
This paper describes ongoing work on the creation of a multilingual rumour dataset on football transfer news, FTR-18. Transfer rumours are continuously published by sports media. They can both harm the image of player or a club or increase the player's market value. The proposed dataset includes transfer articles written in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It also comprises Twitter reactions related to the transfer rumours. FTR-18 is suited for rumour classification tasks and allows the research on the linguistic patterns used in sports journalism.
