Why CupNation?

CupNation was born from a simple idea – to make watching sports tournaments more fun by competing with friends. Whether it's the Ice Hockey World Championship, football EURO or a custom tournament among colleagues, CupNation turns every match into a thrilling competition for the best predictor.

The app combines simplicity with advanced features – automatic scoring, live leaderboards, interactive playoff bracket and push notifications ensure you never miss a result or a ranking change.

The project is developed by a solo developer with a passion for sports and technology. Every feature is carefully designed to deliver the best prediction experience possible.
