Hey folks, have you ever wanted to see your favorite team's schedule within your regular calendar app? Well, I have so I created an app that can do that!

I started developing footcal a few weeks ago; it can create calendars with your favorite team's matches that you can import into your regular Google calendar (or whatever service you use). The gist is that you get the URL with the team ID, import it into your calendar service, and it should show the team's schedule among your other events. It also keeps updating itself so new matches show up as they get scheduled.

I'm happy to answer questions, and I can try to help with any issues you have. You can also check the help page (https://footcal.cbdm.app/help) for a little more detailed explanation.

Fair warning that I'm using a free API account, so if we run out of requests when you try to use it, you'll have to wait for the next day to roll around :)

There's also other alternatives like https://fixtur.es/en/, but they're usually limited for teams outside the main competitions (e.g., Europe's top divisions).

For example, the Brazilian team I support (Atletico Mineiro) plays its regional tournament (Campeonato Mineiro) from Jan until mid/late Feb, which doesn't usually show up in these services. Since Atletico doesn't have an official calendar, for 2-3 months I don't really get the schedule using something like fixtur.es. For the 2023 season:

Footcal tries to fix this by using a source that has more tournaments than others sources. I basically developed it for it to work for Atletico's calendar, but thought it could be helpful for others too :)
