All The Apps You Need For the 2018 FIFA World Cup

Jun. 14, 2018

Well, it goes without saying but this is the most obvious app to add to that World Cup folder on your homescreen. Keep track of every FIFA World Cup match and update. This app asks you to select your favorite team andputs you at the heart of the football action with minute-by-minute updates (live blog) and notifications

You will be able to check out live scores, see exclusive videos of key moments, and learn more about the team you support among other things. There’s not a whole lot of fluff in FIFA’s official app but it will deliver you all the updates without any frills.

If you don’t like the UI or the commentary on FotMob (which is totally understandable) and would like access to more info on the matches or players, then you can pick between OneFootball (Android,iOS) which has a brighter UI and a cleaner look overall, or Forza Football (Android,iOS) which lets you pick themes which could match your national team’s colours.

Yes, as the name truly suggests, FIFA World Cup will be the ‘real’ fever for the next 30 days andRealFevr gives you the chance to be part of the excitement by building your own team. You can pick 15 players (4 substitutes), manage them and track their performance in real-time all through a simplified, intuitive and clutter-free UI.

You also get access to latest news and updates about the players to help you build your team through their regular blog posts.

Download RealFevr – Fantasy Sports (Android,iOS)

While I like the UI and aesthetics of RealFevr, there are other fantasy football apps available on the app stores.Another popular one is Goal Fantasy Football(Android,iOS). It has similar features but its user experience isn’t as fun as RealFevr.

If you’re a true football fan, it is highly possible that you’ve already penned a list for all the FIFA World Cup fixtures you want to watch live instead of just keeping tabs on the scores. SonyLIV is your one-stop destination for just that, at least in India. You canstream all the matches for free, but will have to bear with the 5-minute delayed and ad-supported telecast.

You can, however, get rid of the ads and delay by picking the Rs 199 ‘Super Sports’ pack for six months, which is a great deal for football fans who plan to stream a ton of matches over the next 30 days.

SonyLIV willsupplement the telecast with additional data like live scores, player positions, team info, match stats and commentary in the ‘Match Center’ within its app, which is certainly a plus. All of these features are not live yet but should appear over the next few hours or days.

You can alsowatch the matches live on AirtelTV and JioTV apps for freeby selecting the right channel from the TV schedule.

You can use any phone with a gyroscope or a VR headset to immerse yourself in the real-world experience of being at one of the games. BBC will also display the match stats and switch angles to give you the perfect view of matches in real-time. This app is compatible with bothAndroidandiOSdevices, along withGear VR, Oculus Go and PlayStation VR.

So, there you have it; you won’t need a TV or a laptop to keep up with all the action. Just get these apps, and if we missed out on any truly interesting ones, let us know below.
