The reverse pipeline (Phase 2)
When an NPFL alumnus scores in Europe, Matchday Global will fire a push to the npfl-alumni:goals topic. Subscribers — Lagos fans tracking the diaspora and Western fans curious about the home-league pipeline — both get the same notification, both land on the same player page. That’s the bridge.
