I am using VPN when out of the country and I see the markets as Soccer instead for Football.
Is it normal? is it because Betfair is seeing me I am out of the country regardless I use VPN?

Hello,
Yes, BetFair names that sport accordingly.

So, if they see I am on VPN and see the location where I am accessing from, wouldn't that be a problem?

Is your question about their site? Are you logged in to your account?
Most VPNs hide the real location.

The question is around the VPN and it is more a concern than an issue.
If VPN hides the location, I should see the sports like I see them when I am in UK Football not Soccer.

I mean were do you see the name? On the site and when you are not logged in there are only 2 sources of your locale: browser's settings and ip.
If your ip is hidden by VPN then probably your browser language settings are different to UK.
If you are logged in then BetFair should use your account settings first.
In MarketFeeder we use software language (en-GB for English version).
I've tried different VPN locations from Canada to Australia and never seen "Soccer"...

Actually the website is fine, MarketFeeder is listing them as Soccer. It's not a big deal, mid September I am back to UK and I will let you know if it is still shows Soccer.
