The Football League has launched its official iPhone application, free to download, with dedicated sections to all its 72 clubs, reports Sport Business. Besides offering news, fixtures and statistics, other features of the app are the capacity to update fans' Facebook and Twitter status and a score predictor tool that compares predictions between users.

A premium service that can be purchased for £4.99 per season will offer video match highlights 24 hours after the game and a Google Maps functionality that will help supporter find their way around any stadium in the country.

"Fans live and breathe football and want to be kept up to date wherever they are in the world at a time that suits them," said Ian Ritchie, chairman of Football League Interactive.

"We designed the official Football League clubs' iPhone app with this in mind, using innovative technology to deliver access to rich and interactive content."
