Football Pool
This plugin adds a fantasy sports pool to your blog. Visitors of your website can predict outcomes of matches and earn extra points with bonus questions. Every player can view scores and charts of the other pool contenders. The plugin installs some custom tables in the database and includes match information for the UEFA 2024 Championship, but it can be easily updated with match info for other championships or sports. Note: deactivating the plugin may delete all plugin data from your database. To avoid this, make sure the “keep data on uninstall” option is enabled in the settings (it’s on by default since version 2.3.1). I originally coded this pool in PHP as a standalone website for the UEFA 2000 championship and rewrote it several times for every European Championship and World Cup since. I kept adding features every year. In 2012, I turned it into a WordPress plugin and uploaded it to the plugin directory. I hope you enjoy it. A special thank you to everyone who donated, helped translate, reported bugs, or contributed in any other way to improving the plugin! Features Users can predict match outcomes.

Sportsteam Widget – Football livescore
This plugin is discontinued as of 01.06.2026. We recommend deleting it from your WordPress installation. SportsTeam Widget is a widget that shows the next match of a game. It uses a Custom Post Type for sportsteams, together with a Taxonomy/Term for the class/level where the team plays. You can add widget to every page anywhere you want and customize it for your needs for every sport – football (soccer), basketball, hockey, tennis, cricket and much more. Just add your team or teams and set up widget settings such as: * Widget title * Match date * Subtitle * Is match away (ticker) * Class * Home Team * Home Team result * Home Team color * Out Team * Out Team result * Out Team color * Background color * Text color But that’s not all! We’ve added a new feature – football livescore widget to add fully automated live scores and results for today from any tournament you want (or all of them at once). Just insert simple shortcode where you want on page and your users will get livescores with real time updates with no need to refresh the page. Livescore widget is fully responsive for any screen sizes and has no ads. Compatibility This plugin is compatible with ClassicPress. Interaction with External Services Sportsteam Widget utilizes the external service 777score.com to obtain up-to-date information about the schedule and results of football matches. 777score.com is a recognized source of sports information trusted by the sports community. This service provides a wide range of information about football, including various leagues, tournaments, and championships from around the world. The functioning of the 777score.com service is based on delivering real-time data about selected matches, including the match start time, its status, incidents, and the score. Users have the ability to view detailed information about matches, such as goal lists, received cards, and other key events, without the need to refresh the page. This means that data is automatically updated without requiring page reload. This approach ensures users quick and uninterrupted access to the latest sports data without the effort of manually updating information, allowing them to stay informed about ongoing events in real-time.
