What teams and competitions do you have in your watchlist? Can you share the story behind this selection?
I was born and raised in Paris where I developed a love for football early on, particularly PSG and the French national team.
Despite my passion for football, I actually played rugby growing up, which is why I now follow both sports with equal interest.
During my studies in the UK, I started to watch a lot the Premier League and all its excitement. From my youth, I've always had a special place in my heart for Arsenal, Wenger, and the many French talents like Henry, Pires, etc… Here in Paris, one of my best friends is English and a devoted Liverpool supporter, so I enjoy watching matches alongside his passionate support.
My main focus remains on PSG and Stade Français, as well as the French national teams in both football and rugby.
After watching 5 or 6 seasons of Drive to Survive, I've recently started getting into Formula 1, mainly through race summaries. Having these events in my sports calendar has been very convenient.
How has Fixtured changed how you follow your favorite teams or leagues?
Before, I used applications that allowed me to put all the matches I selected into my personal calendar, which was both practical and somewhat invasive.
Now, I keep certain "important" matches or competitions in my personal calendar, like Six Nations or PSG and France national team matches, while I keep everything else in Fixtured, which has become my go-to app.
What’s your favorite feature on Fixtured, and why?
I don't have one particular feature that stands out to me. What I appreciate most is the problem that Fixtured solves rather than any specific feature.
What I especially enjoy is the design of the cards that match the visual style of the various competitions.
What advice would you give to a new user getting started with Fixtured?
Start with a limited selection and then refine over time. Understand whether you want to follow an entire competition or just specific clubs within it.
Most importantly, continue to adjust your selections as you go to find the right balance between comprehensive coverage and not overcrowding your view.
Any new sport, team, league or feature you'd love to see on Fixtured?
Cycling, primarily for the Tour de France, and padel—a sport that still doesn't get much media coverage but one that I love both playing and watching.
And of course, I'd love to have the ability to simply add an event directly to my calendar!
