footballmapies
Hey, so footballmapies is a little project I’ve developed for learning webscraping and use of gmplot module in python.
Why Football map?
I’m a massive football fan and by my username you should’ve been able to guess that I am an Arsenal fan. I’ve also had a long standing interest and love towards geography.
How does this code work?
I’ve written this code using the modules, gmplot(for map stuff), bs4(Beautiful Soup for scraping) and requests(Also for scraping). So basically I scrape the latitudes and the longitudes of the specific stadium in which the club plays, from this website called https://www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com/ (So shout out to them!).
Note that this code only works for the top 5 European leagues and if you don’t find your desired league in here, just let me know and I’ll try to add that country’s most succesfull clubs as well.
-> In the last line of code please note that you’ll have to create the path in which you want your output html file to be saved.
-> Make sure you’ve installed the modules gmaplot, requests-html, and bs4
using these comands on the terminal:
pip install gmplot
pip install bs4
pip install requests-html
in windows OS.
This is a pretty rudimentary form of code, but it does work very well and I hope to make it more efficient in the successive commits to come!
Output
So below, I’m going to link the output of my code.

If you find any bugs, or if you have any suggestions for the modification of the code or any query, contact me at
Finally
Thank you so much for looking into this small project of mine, it took me a lot of time to finish this project, so if you liked it, I’d appreciate a star and (or) or a fork
A Massive Thank You again, hope you put this into good use!
