Facebook launches hub for sports related Chat

Facebook has launched Sports Stadium, a dedicated hub on the social network where you can discuss the big game in peace.

The service combines live scores, stats and play-by-play information with match chatter from your friends and experts alike.

The Matchup tab, meanwhile, plays host to photos and video content from the game you're following, as and when it emerges.

Sports Stadium sounds like just the place for Premier League footy banter, but its reach and coverage is limited at launch.

Right now, the service is only available for iOS users in America, who happen to be fans of the NFL.

However, Facebook is expanding Sports Stadium to other platforms and sports - like basketball and football - in the near future. Back of the net!
