Follow football news with apps
The main reason to follow the football news with apps is that you are immediately notified when a goal is scored, or when there is important news about your club. One aspect of that is tracking football transfers, but much more is happening in the world of football. From suspensions to injuries and from new trainers to riots. If you have the right app on your iPhone or iPad, you know exactly what’s going on.

If you prefer to follow the football standings, we have a separate list for that.
Football transfers and other football news
During the transfer window, footballers have the chance to change clubs. In the summer the transfer window is 12 weeks and during the winter break there are a further 4 weeks for players to transfer. Only if the transfer market is open during this period can clubs buy and sell players. The transfer periods differ per country.
Actually, the KNVB, the football trainers and the clubs would prefer to see the transfer period shorter, because while the competition has already started, the players can still change clubs. The players and the football agents obviously think differently: they want to have the opportunity to switch to a more lucrative contract until the last moment. If you want to follow all transfers and get notified immediately when your favorite player transfers, you need apps. We discuss them in this list. Of the apps we discuss here, Forza Football is the least strong in news, but on the other hand you can follow player transfers well.

Football zone
The Dutch football website Voetbalzone also has its own app. You select a favorite team so that you can receive important notifications, but the app also has separate overviews for the latest news. With the In pictures section you can see the news in pictures, for example with players who are now free transfer. But more convenient is the overview of the latest news, in which you can clearly see with flags which competition or from which news the country is concerned.
