Just wait a little longer and then the first match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia will start. With these apps you follow all matches, you stay up-to-date with the latest news and you can make groups with your friends or family.
These are the best 2018 World Cup apps
The Dutch National Team is not there in Russia and although that is very disappointing, there are many interesting teams to follow during the World Cup. Moreover, there are enough football fans in the Netherlands who want to see all matches and that is why we have listed a number of great apps.
1. NOS app
The NOS has completely updated its app especially for the World Championship. From the main menu you go to the World Cup 2018 section, where you can check almost everything about football. You will find the latest news, the program and all results and videos with interviews and cool compilations. Moreover, the app has all kinds of fun facts, such as an overview with the oldest selections and smallest players who participate.
More importantly, you can follow all matches live on your iPhone or iPad with the NOS app. So you don’t have to miss anything and you can even catch a game on the train or bus, or if you are bored for a while. Also handy: images can be streamed directly to a Chromecast, so that you can also watch on your television.
2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
The official app of the 2018 World Cup should of course not be missing from this list. As soon as you start the application for the first time, you have to choose your favorite team so that you can receive targeted notifications. As a result, you will be the first to know when a score has been scored, what the lineups are and whether yellow or red cards have been awarded.
Furthermore, it has everything you would expect from a World Cup 2018 app. You will find the latest news, live scores, live blogs and standings of, for example, the group stages. Moreover, the app is completely free, which makes it ideal if you always want to stay up to date.
3. Scorito
If you are someone who wants to predict the winner and all the results of the tournament, you can participate in the Scorito pool. It works like this: the World Cup pool has five rounds with the group stage and four knockout rounds. Each round you predict the results and if you do it right, you earn money with it. Matches can also be followed live via the Scorito app.
Keep in mind that you have to pay (2.99 euros) to participate in the World Cup pool, but you will enjoy it for a few weeks. Be quick, because you can register until this afternoon (June 14) 5 pm. After all, then the first game (Russia – Saudi Arabia) will start.
4. Football International
Voetbal International has had an excellent app for years to follow the latest news about all European competitions, and a special file has been created for the World Cup. There you will find basically everything you need, but you also read a lot about the history of the World Cup, who the top favorites are and which players excel every day.
You will also find a lot of videos in the application, with, for example, a background about Bert van Marwijk and his Australia, and an overview of all top players who have not been selected by their national coaches. An ideal app for the avid football fan.
5. Live Score
Are you not in the mood for all the news, background stories and live matches, but just want to follow the results? Then the LiveScore app might be something for you. The app is not very extensive and has a somewhat confused interface, but is very fast with pushing notifications when a goal has been scored or, for example, a red card has been given.
In addition, LiveScore has a quick overview of the line-ups of matches in the app, and you can immediately see what the results do with the standings in the groups for specific matches.
