Matchday Blocks integrates with the MeinTurnierplan platform to let you embed live tournament data — match schedules, group standings and results — anywhere on your site using native Gutenberg blocks.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Match Schedule block — list all matches grouped by round and date</li>
<li>Standings block — show live group standings</li>
<li>Latest Matches block — display the most recently played fixtures</li>
<li>Upcoming Matches block — show the next scheduled fixtures</li>
<li>Configurable cache to reduce external API requests</li>
<li>Team logos downloaded and served locally (no third-party image requests from visitor browsers)</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to MeinTurnierplan (<a href="https://www.meinturnierplan.de" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.meinturnierplan.de</a>) to retrieve tournament data.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: The Tournament ID you configured in the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Data received: Match results, team names, group standings, final round fixtures and team logo URLs.</li>
<li>When: Only on the server side — when the cache is empty or expired, or when you manually clear the cache. Visitor browsers are never used to contact MeinTurnierplan.</li>
<li>Logo images: Team logos are downloaded to your WordPress uploads directory (<code>/uploads/matchday-blocks/logos/</code>) and served from your own server.</li>
</ul>
