FIFA has launched a new app for fans to follow the World Cup Draws live on the 6th of December. The free app has been released for iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones and tablets
Apart from streaming the World Cup draw live, the app will serve up match schedules, destination guides and team profiles for the tournament, which takes place in Brazil next summer. It will also present fans with results, news and other content in the run-up to Brazil 2014.
However, its central feature is a “World Match Centre” which fans can customise to show results from their preferred competitions and clubs. The app will thus be competing with independent apps like The Football App, which said in October that it was attracting 4.5m active users.
FIFA’s app will also show the men’s and women’s international rankings, and promote the body’s activities in grassroots football around the world.
