Built because World Cup 2026 news and local watch-party info lived in a dozen different places and nowhere at once. It's a single aggregation-and-generation pipeline: news from 16+ feeds deduplicated and ranked by relevance, venues merged from four independent sources into confidence-scored records, and the whole site rebuilt daily so every team, match, and city page stays current without anyone touching it by hand.
Built because I wanted one place for everything World Cup 2026 — every morsel of news, plus which bars and fan events were happening near me. It became my own daily driver during the tournament, and drew around 1,500 unique visitors a month while the World Cup was on.
News is aggregated from 16+ feeds and ranked by a time-decay scoring formula that weighs source credibility, team and player entity matches, and whether a team is playing that day — with near-duplicate coverage clustered instead of repeated. The venue map merges Yelp, Foursquare, OpenStreetMap and Google Places into single records using geographic proximity and name-token similarity, each carrying a confidence score based on how many independent sources agree.
A daily GitHub Actions pipeline regenerates the site — 48 team pages, 99 match pages, 38 city pages and a 187-URL sitemap — for programmatic SEO across every team, match, and host city.
