If you’re a soccer fan in the U.S., it might be hard to find other soccer fans — outside World Cup years — to connect with. NBC Sports has come up with the solution, a social app that makes it easier for fans to connect.

NBC Sports MatchMaker is made for the “dedicated soccer fan.” At game time, it shows you on a map where other fans are gathering, the best bars to watch soccer and more. You can join others or invite friends to come watch. The app even offers a pre-chat function, so you can talk before the match.

The free app is linked to NBC’s broadcast schedule and will send you reminders on game start times and news updates on the teams, too. It’s just a little reminder that while we have a football season to finish out, it’s never too early to start thinking about that other football, too.
