Telegram bot for football notifications: kickoff and full time
Follow a club, a national side or a whole competition and get a message before kickoff and another with the final result — at the times you choose.
One club or the whole competition
A follow in Veentry can be a single club — you get that club's fixtures and nothing more — or an entire competition, which gives you every fixture in it. The second is the one people underuse: following a league is a single action that covers every side in it, which is what you want during a tournament or a title race.
Either way, you choose the alerts and their timing. Today that is kickoff and the final result; goals, cards and substitutions are next. A quiet week produces no messages at all, which is a filter doing its job rather than a feed failing to fill itself.
Setting up a football follow
Search for the club or competition, open its page, and tap Follow. The page also lists that side's upcoming fixtures and recent results, so you can check it is the right one before you follow it — there are a lot of clubs with similar names.
Then pick your alert types. Match start on its own is the lightest useful setting: it is the nudge that the game is on, sent early enough to do something about it. Add the result if you are usually not watching.
Where to start
The football hub lists every club and competition Veentry currently tracks, and each of those pages carries its own fixtures. If you follow one club, follow its competition too during the knockout rounds — the fixtures that matter to you stop being only your own side's.
It costs nothing to look: every subject page is public and readable without an account.
FAQ
Can I follow a whole league instead of one team?
Yes, and it is one follow rather than twenty. Open the competition's page and tap Follow, and every fixture in it is covered.
Will it notify me for every goal?
Not yet. Today the football alerts are match start and final result. Goals, yellow and red cards and substitutions are next — and like every alert in Veentry they will be opt-in per follow, so you can take every goal for your own club and only the results for the rest of the league.
Which competitions are covered?
Open the football hub to see what is tracked today. The catalogue grows with the data sources behind it, and any subject page with fixtures on it is one you can follow.
