As we promised last month, we are launching Shortcuts that give you upcoming schedules for a specific team, group or match. Try searching for “worldcup schedule”, “Slovenia vs US schedule”, “brazil soccer” and “group B schedule” and get the schedule you’re looking for right on the Yahoo! Search results page.

You can easily access scores, photo gallery, new videos, and latest news from these Shortcuts. You can also see the team page and the match page where you can get the stats and the details about each team and match.

Of course, we will keep bringing more videos and news coverage through the general World Cup Shortcut (just go to Yahoo! Search and type “world cup” to see the shortcut). Since its launch less than a month ago, we’ve already seen 150% increase in search volume for World Cup topics, and a 25% increase in engagement with the World Cup shortcut on our Search results pages.

So give the World Cup Schedule shortcuts a try and search for your favorite team, group, or a match.
