Hey folks, have you ever wanted to see your favorite team’s schedule within your regular calendar app? Well, I have so I created an app that can do that!
I started developing footcal a few weeks ago; it can create calendars with your favorite team’s matches that you can import into your regular Google calendar (or whatever service you use). The gist is that you get the URL with the team ID, import it into your calendar service, and it should show the team’s schedule among your other events. It also keeps updating itself so new matches show up as they get scheduled.
I’m happy to answer questions, and I can try to help with any issues you have. You can also check the help page (https://footcal.cbdm.app/help) for a little more detailed explanation.
Fair warning that I’m using a free API account, so if we run out of requests when you try to use it, you’ll have to wait for the next day to roll around :)
don’t teams have these they made themselves? i remember importing the Man United calendar a year or two back
Some of them do! Not my favorite team though… Atletico Mineiro had for a long time an official calendar, but it sucked! They had an event that showed up everyday called “Team’s Practice” – which I put up with for years! – but a couple of years back they just stopped updating the calendar, which led me into looking for alternatives. So this is more like an option in case the team you root for doesn’t have an official calendar you can subscribe to.
Using it, thanks !
