Footbook — Overview

What is it?

Footbook is a real-time football (soccer) live feed web application. It delivers live scores, match timelines, player events, and structured data for fans, commentators, and organizers. Starting with the English Premier League, the platform is designed to scale across multiple leagues such as the Bundesliga and beyond.

The app ingests match events (goals, fouls, substitutions, etc.), maintains an authoritative game clock, and serves live scoreboards, timelines, and overlays through a modern web interface.

Why it exists

  • Football fans want an accessible, live and accurate match tracker without relying on expensive, closed platforms.
  • Existing live score services are either delayed, not interactive, or limited in league coverage.
  • Organizers and community clubs often lack easy-to-use tools to manage and present live match data.
  • By using open, modern web technologies, Footbook provides a lightweight and extensible platform for both casual fans and professional organizers.

Who it’s for

  • Fans: Get real-time updates on goals, cards, substitutions, and match stats.
  • Commentators & Media: Access structured match data to enhance broadcasts and reporting.
  • Organizers & Teams: Create and manage matches, input live events, and maintain historical records.
  • Operators (Admins): Use the match console to manage timelines, control the clock, and update scores manually when needed.
