Three Apps That Allow You to Stay in Touch with Sports on Your Business Travels

When we travel, we often have to give up routines and the comforts of home life. Don’t let supporting your favourite team be one of those, with these great sports apps.

When you’re travelling for work, you have plenty to occupy your time. From prepping for business meetings to organizing your calendar and rehearsing a sales pitch, there’s so much to do that it leaves you with barely a minute spare to explore the place you’re visiting.

With sightseeing out of the window, there’s little leisure time at all. You might have been hoping to snatch the odd hour to read a book or catch up on your favorite Netflix show, but most of the time, there simply isn’t the opportunity. Even more frustratingly, it can be almost impossible to stay up to date with what’s happening in the world of sport.

For passionate fans with a team to support, this can be agonizing. Waiting to see what the outcome is can make you eager to get home, while the anticipation becomes a form of torment. The solution? To download the three apps listed below. Ideal for helping you stay abreast of what’s happening in the worlds of football, tennis, horse racing, and more, they’re sure to make travelling abroad a treat again.
