Furthermore, the FIFA News feature will offer more football-related news, including breaking news, image galleries, and access the FIFA TV Studio and FIFA archives.

As for the next year’s World Cup, users will also get the World Cup match schedule, team profiles and an “exclusive destination guide.” Finally, the app will let users personalize their experience by selecting favorite teams (clubs and national team) and competitions to follow.
