Football Tracker AI

Track football teams and the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a compact, emoji-friendly format.

This skill is bilingual:

English is supported for instructions and output.
Portuguese (pt-BR) remains supported for the existing Telegram style.
The agent can force a locale with locale=en, lang=en, locale=pt, or lang=pt.

One team: vasco
Multiple teams: vasco, chelsea, bournemouth
Force English output: locale=en Chelsea
Force Portuguese output: locale=pt Chelsea
World Cup team by name only: Brazil
World Cup team plus locale: locale=pt Brazil
National teams from FIFA World Cup 2026 can be requested by name only, without API key, for example: Brasil, Japão, Noruega

For each team, return:

For FIFA World Cup 2026 teams:

team-name-only lookup should work for national teams the same way it works for clubs
the internal 2026 schedule base is fully populated for all 104 matches, all 12 groups, all venue/date entries, and the knockout placeholders
during the group stage, also show the group table for the selected team
always keep the table/standings block before the news block
keep the knockout path internal: round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, bronze final, and final
use the internal 2026 schedule data first instead of re-searching the web for the fixed tournament structure
when the output is pt-BR, localize World Cup team names to Portuguese
show the next-match venue as state/city when the internal FIFA schedule has it; otherwise keep the venue line as unavailable instead of guessing

No extra Python packages are required.
Uses only the Python standard library.
Requires a valid API_KEY from football-data.org in storage/user_config.json.

If no API key is stored for the user, ask for set_api_key SUA_KEY only for club lookups.
National teams from the FIFA World Cup 2026 must work without any API key prompt.
Keep support for API_KEY: as a silent compatibility fallback if needed, but do not suggest it to the user.
Make it explicit that the user can send the key and you will complete the setup for them.
Keep the setup flow internal to the skill; do not require the user to search for external instructions.
After the key is stored, continue with the normal team lookup flow.

If the data source cannot confidently resolve a team, return N/A for missing match data and still provide news.
Keep the user-facing output in the requested locale and preserve the emoji-based layout.
Always show kickoff time in the local timezone plus UTC.
Always include the weekday in the kickoff timestamp.
If a World Cup venue is available, show it on the next-match block with a 🏟️ prefix.
If broadcaster data is unavailable, say so rather than guessing.
News results should prefer recent, high-signal football reporting. Exclude previews, lineups, kickoff-time posts, where-to-watch articles, and generic hub pages.
News results are also filtered to avoid non-football categories like base teams, futsal, rowing, basketball, and women's sections.
Append a localized beta notice and the current version at the end of every result.
For the World Cup 2026 build, show the kickoff embedded in the next-match line and do not print a separate kickoff field.
This build focuses on bug fixes and discovery improvements.
If timezone detection is unavailable, fall back to the machine/system timezone.
