详情介绍:
Football Studio by IBPSports turns WordPress into a complete football (soccer) website for clubs, leagues and tournament organisers. Enter a result once — the league table, knockout tie winners, top scorers and team statistics update automatically.
Built only for football, it models real competitions properly: league seasons, cups and multi-stage tournaments with a group stage followed by knockout rounds — including two-legged ties, best-of series, extra time, penalty shoot-outs and awarded matches.
Free with no limits: unlimited leagues, seasons, tournaments, teams, players and matches. No add-ons, no extra plugins, no monthly fees and no external services. 20+ languages included.
Who is it for?
- Football clubs — Build your club website: teams, season squads, player and staff profiles, fixtures, results and player statistics.
- Football leagues — Run every season in one place: schedule matches, enter results, and publish league tables, top scorers and team stats that update automatically.
- Tournament organisers — Create group stages and knockout rounds with single-leg ties, two-legged ties or best-of series, and the winner of each tie is decided automatically.
- Football associations — Manage several leagues, cups and age groups, with all their clubs, players, referees and stadiums, from one dashboard.
- Fan and news sites — Cover real competitions like the World Cup or the Euro with match pages, lineups, events and statistics.
- Automatic league tables. Standings recalculate from results, with form (W/D/L), position legends and configurable ranking rules: points, goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head, wins, win % and points per game.
- Real cup and tournament formats. Round-robin groups and knockout rounds in the same tournament, with single-leg or two-legged ties, best-of series, aggregate scores and automatically decided tie winners.
- A full match centre. Goals, assists, own goals, penalties, cards, substitutions, lineups (starting XI + bench + coach), team match statistics and a written match report.
- Fast data entry. Enter results for many matches on one screen, schedule matches from one grid, and import teams, players, staff, referees and stadiums from a spreadsheet.
- See it working in one click. The Demo Data page installs a complete sample league or the full UEFA EURO 2024 tournament — teams, squads, results, events and lineups — and removes it again just as easily.
- Works with any theme. Everything is shown through shortcodes and templates you can override from your theme — no page builder needed. A built-in reference documents every shortcode and parameter.
- Gutenberg blocks and widgets. Blocks for the block editor, with every setting in the block sidebar and a live preview, and sidebar widgets — next match, last result, a compact league table with your team highlighted, top scorers, upcoming birthdays and more.
- Search-engine ready. Match, team, player and stadium pages include schema.org structured data (JSON-LD), so search engines understand what each page is about.
- Developer-friendly. Clean
ibps_football/*filters for league types, ranking criteria, standing/stat columns, positions and more.
- 18 dedicated, indexed tables for matches, events, lineups, standings, squads, knockout ties and statistics — the data is queried directly, never rebuilt from thousands of post meta rows
- Standings are stored and recalculated only when a result changes, so a league table is one quick read
- Match lists load team links, logos and tournament data in batches, not one query per row
- Lightweight frontend: no jQuery, responsive layouts with CSS container queries
-

常见问题:
Can I try it with sample data first?
Yes. Football Settings → Demo Data installs a complete fictional league (Acme League: 14 clubs, squads, 94 matches with results, events and lineups) or the full UEFA EURO 2024 tournament (24 teams, all 51 matches). The demo data is added next to your own data, and "Remove data" deletes exactly what it created.
Can I deduct points from a team, or start the table with existing values?
Yes. On the group's settings page, the Initial Data table lets you enter pre-defined starting values for every team — matches, wins, draws, losses, goals and points — for example when you start using the plugin in the middle of a season, or to carry points over from a previous stage. The same table has a Penalty Points column for sanctions: enter a negative value (e.g. −6), the points are deducted and the team is marked with * in the standings.
Does it support both leagues and knockout cups?
Yes. A tournament can have round-robin (group) stages, knockout (round) stages, or both, with automatic standings and automatically decided knockout ties.
Can I run a group stage followed by knockout rounds, like the World Cup or the Euro?
Yes. Add a round-robin stage with as many groups as you need, then a knockout stage with its rounds (e.g. Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final). The EURO 2024 demo is built exactly this way.
Does it support two-legged ties, best-of series and penalty shoot-outs?
Yes. Each knockout round is played as single-leg ties, two-legged ties (decided on aggregate) or best-of series. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are recorded per match, and the winner of the tie is decided automatically as soon as the format decides it.
How do I show the league table on a page?
Add the [ibpf-standings tournament_id="123"] shortcode to any page or post (use group_id for one group only). The Shortcodes box on the tournament dashboard gives you copy-ready shortcodes with the right IDs, and Football Settings → Shortcodes documents every parameter.
Can I show fixtures and results for one team only?
Yes. Use [ibpf-matches team_id="12" type="fixtures"] for upcoming matches or type="results" for played ones. You can also filter by tournament, stage, group, matchday and date range.
Can I import data in bulk?
Yes. Football Settings → Data Import lets you add teams, players, staff, referees and stadiums in a spreadsheet-style grid (you can paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets). Matches are created on the Schedule Matches screen of each tournament.
Does this work with any theme?
Yes. Frontend output uses shortcodes and templates that are independent of your active theme, and templates can be overridden from your theme.
Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)?
Yes. The Football Studio block category has blocks for Standings, Fixtures & Results, Next Match, Tournament, Knockouts, Match, Team, Player, Top Scorers, Players Stats and Teams Stats: pick the tournament, team, match or player in the block sidebar and see a live preview. Any other shortcode can be pasted into a Shortcode block. In the Classic Editor, the IBP Football button inserts shortcodes for you.
Are there widgets for my sidebar?
Yes. Appearance → Widgets has Football Studio widgets such as Fixtures, Results, Next Match, Last Matches, Standings, Top Scorers, Teams, Players, Player and Date of Birth. Pick the team, tournament or player in the widget form — for example your club's next match and latest result, or a mini league table with your team highlighted. A widget stays hidden when it has nothing to show.
Does it help with SEO?
Every match, team, player, staff, referee, stadium, tournament and league page includes schema.org structured data (SportsEvent, SportsTeam, Person, StadiumOrArena, SportsOrganization) and breadcrumbs, so search engines understand what each page is about. It works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math and other SEO plugins, and can be switched off in Football Settings → General → Search Engines.
Where is data stored?
All plugin data is stored in dedicated custom database tables (prefixed ibpf_) for performance and portability.

- Teams List shortcode - Table layout: new header with the tournament logo, league name and season, like Standings and Knockouts; new show_header and title parameters, also in the shortcode generator
- Performance - Tournament, Team, Player and Match pages run far fewer database queries: player, team and match links and images are loaded together instead of one by one, and repeated lookups were removed; the number of queries on a Player page no longer grows with the number of matches listed
- Performance - fewer queries also in the Standings, Teams List, Players Stats, Knockouts, Match Lineups, Match Events, Referee and Staff shortcodes, and in the structured data (schema.org) of Team, Player, Match, Stadium, Referee and Staff pages
- Performance - shortcodes no longer load data for sections and options they don't show (Team, Player, Match, Standings, Knockouts, Matches, Players Stats)
- Tournament shortcode - a stage with groups but no standings rows no longer shows an empty heading

- Matches shortcode - Card layout: Show Tournament now shows the tournament in each card also when one tournament is selected; List layout: with one tournament selected, the header shows the tournament logo, league name and season, like Standings and Knockouts; the Fixtures and Results widgets in the List layout show this header when a tournament is chosen
- Admin shortcode forms - usability improvements: easier selection of matches, teams and other items, e.g. a team dropdown in the Matches form and a multiple team choice for Highlight teams in the Standings form

- Fixed - Tournaments: a new tournament could be saved without a League or Season; both are now required when the tournament is created (they cannot be changed later)

- Knockouts shortcode - rounds are now listed from last to first (Final first), also in the knockout section of the Tournament shortcode
- Fixed - the Leg field of knockout matches was limited to 2; it now accepts any leg number, so best-of-three, five, seven or nine series can be entered

- Data cleanup - permanently deleting a match now also deletes its lineups and refreshes the group table and knockout tie it counted in; permanently deleting a team now also deletes its season squads and its rows in group tables (the other teams are re-ranked), and removes it as the current club / national team of its players; deleting a player removes the player's squads and transfers but keeps the match history - lineups, goals, cards and assists stay with the player's name; deleting a staff member removes the coach entries in lineups and the head-coach link of the team; deleting a referee clears it from its matches
