Could you build this?
No Providing real-time scores, lineups, and match events across 1,000+ football leagues requires expensive proprietary data feeds from sports data vendors or massive scouting operations, not just software.
What it would actually take: The product requires enterprise licensing contracts with Tier-1 sports data brokers (Sportradar, Opta/Stats Perform, Betgenius) costing tens of thousands per month. The backend needs a high-throughput, low-latency ingest pipeline (Kafka, Redis, Go/Rust) distributing WebSocket streams to thousands of concurrent developers. The barrier is entirely the proprietary data sourcing and distribution licensing rights.
