FIFG launches official FootGolf app for tournaments and rankings

FIFG has put its tournament, rankings and event tools into a single official app, a free Sports-category download on Apple that carries a 4+ age rating and English language setting. The app is published by Federation Internationale de Footgolf and weighs in at just 5.2 MB, a small footprint that points to utility rather than a heavy media product.

The app’s description makes its purpose clear. Users can view FIFG tournament info and leaderboards, find courses and course information, read the latest FIFG news, check season standings and stats, and check in to FIFG events with the scorecard on their phone. For a sport that has long relied on scattered federation pages, event posts and local communication, that bundle creates one mobile entry point for players trying to track where to play, how they rank and what is happening next.

That centralization fits the way FIFG already operates. The federation calls itself the world’s governing body for FootGolf, and its Instagram account says it was established in 2012. FIFG’s official site points to upcoming events for the 2024-2025 season, while its Competition Rules 2025 set out the organization’s competitions and World Tour 2025 structure, including world, regional and national rankings. The rulebook also states the game is played from the teeing zone to the hole in the fewest number of kicks, which gives the app a practical role beyond publicity: it can serve as a reference point for how the sport is played and organized.

The app also lands in a sport that has already experimented with event-specific digital tools. A post tied to the Orlando 2023 FootGolf World Cup referenced two apps for the event, signaling that tournament management was already moving onto phones before this official release. FootGolf México says it has been developing the sport in Mexico since 2012 and directs users to its official app to register for events, while the American FootGolf Federation says it introduced FootGolf to North America in 2011. Taken together, those examples show a sport whose growth has depended on separate national and event-level systems rather than one shared platform.

FIFG’s app tries to pull those threads closer together. By combining leaderboards, standings, course data, news and event check-in, it gives the global federation a cleaner way to reach players who may move between countries, circuits and ranking systems. In a sport still building its international profile, that kind of digital infrastructure is no longer a side project. It is part of the competition itself.
