Soccer 2026 is a simple companion for following the tournament. It is built to collect nothing about you — no account, no tracking, no ads, no analytics.
Nothing about you personally. There are no accounts to create, no email to enter, and we operate no server that stores your data. We use no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Everything you do in the app is stored locally on your iPhone (using Apple's standard UserDefaults) and never leaves it:
Deleting the app removes all of it.
The full schedule, teams, groups, and bracket are built into the app and work offline. When your device is online, the app requests live scores and group standings — and optionally team crest images — from API-Football, a third-party sports-data provider. These requests contain only the competition being viewed; they include no personal information about you. API-Football may log standard technical request data (such as IP address) as described in their own privacy policy.
If you follow a match, the app schedules a local notification 15 minutes before kickoff. This happens entirely on your device — there is no push server and nothing is sent off your iPhone.
The app is a general-audience sports companion and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Soccer 2026 is an independent, unofficial app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with FIFA or any football federation.
If this policy ever changes, we'll update this page and note what changed.
