The Best Apps for Following The World Cup Action
Rebecca Appleton • 15 June 2018
One of the great things about being your own boss having invested in a mobile app business opportunity is that you can take an hour out to watch the World Cup if you want to! For those that aren’t so lucky, there are loads and loads of football and Word Cup apps to choose from. These are a lesson in the power of creating a very timely app and one almost certain to get downloads and engagements – for the duration of the tournament at least!
If you can’t tear yourself away from your desk, this is our round up of the best apps available right now to keep track of all the action from Russia between now and the World Cup final on 15 July.
#1 The Official FIFA World Cup App
Whether you’re a football novice or diehard fan, the official app is a great starting point and packed with features. It’s almost a website and TV channel rolled into one, showing exactly how far you can take an app covering a major sporting event. There’s minute-by-minute action from every game in the tournament, video highlights, man of the match voting, match summaries, a Russia and stadium guide, player profiles and stats plus much more. It’s available on iOS and Android.
#2 World Cup App 2018: Russia
The World Cup App 2018: Russia has more than 1.5 million downloads on the App Store. It’s a handy companion for established fans, with a useful calendar of matches in your own local time, instant news in six languages and live results delivered via Push notification – perfect if you’re busy and can’t see the game live.
#3 BBC Sport
The BBC Spot app is ranked eighth in the App Store sports chart – if you’re a long time footie fan, it may already be downloaded and ready to go on your phone or mobile device. It’s not just football of course but, you can personalise what you want to see, follow live coverage, get news, analysis and live scores as well as instant updates via Push notifications – easier than calling up a browser window and hunting down the latest score.
#4 FotMob Live Football Scores
If you don’t want to be tempted to watch live coverage while you’re supposed to be doing something else, the FotMob app is the way to go. It keeps track of all of the live scores so you can see at a glance who’s doing well and who’s crashing out of the Cup. There’s also personalised news and notifications. Downloaded over 15 million times, it has a 4.8 rating on the App Store so may be one you want to keep after the World Cup ends.

For modern entrepreneurs, building a sustainable business model is no longer just about chasing the next big sale. The future belongs to recurring revenue — a model that allows you to earn predictable, ongoing income month after month. And for those looking to build freedom, flexibility, and financial stability, it’s a game-changer.
For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
