Football is a game of moments—and with Goal Guru, you’ll never miss the action. Whether you want simple goal alerts or advanced, multi-condition notifications, our app has you covered.

Get Notified Your Way

Goal Guru makes it easy for everyone to stay updated. Want to know when your favorite team scores, concedes, or gets a red card? Just pick your teams and choose the events you care about:

- Match start and kickoff - Goals and live scores - Yellow and red cards - Penalties - Half-time and full-time results - Substitutions - Extra time, shootouts, and more

You can enable or disable each event type, so you only get the notifications you want—no more, no less.

Advanced: Smart Alerts for Power Users

For those who want even more control, Smart Alerts let you define complex, multi-step conditions for live football notifications. For example, you can set up an alert for '5 shots by the home team in the last 15 minutes, with at least 10 minutes of dangerous attacks'—and get notified instantly when it happens.
