About the package

Premier League (England)

Serie A (Italy)
Championship (England)

and Adding new leagues or removing one from the default list is really easy, see Adding new leagues. All data are fetched from scorespro website.

Installation and configuration

Install

It’s available in Melpa. Look here for instruction. One can also install it using straight and use-package

(use-package soccer
  :straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer"))

Set local time

To get the time and match day converted to your local time configure the following

(setq soccer-time-local-time-utc-offset "+0530")

Keybindings

Additionally you may want to make some keybindings to call the interactive functions conveniently. For example, using use-package this can be done like below,

(use-package soccer
  :straight t
  :config
  (setq soccer-time-local-time-utc-offset "+0530")
  :bind (("C-c s f" . soccer-fixtures-next)
	     ("C-c s r" . soccer-results-last)
	     ("C-c s s" . soccer-scorecard)
	     ("C-c s t" . soccer-table)))

This will fetch and install the package from Melpa, set your local utc-offset and set the above keybindings.

Adding new leagues

You can add a new league or remove a league by modifying the variable soccer-leagues-alist either in your init file or using the customization method in Emacs (M-x customize-variable Enter soccer-leagues-alist Enter). Inside init file the variable soccer-leagues-alist could be configured in the following way

 (setq soccer-leagues-alist
	  '(("England" . "Premier League")
	    ("Spain" . "Laliga")
	    ("France" . "Ligue 1")
	    ("Italy" . "Serie A")
	    ("Germany" . "Bundesliga")
	    ("England" . "Championship")))

  (use-package soccer
    :straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer")
