Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FanAboard at 100% against FIFA Official App's 34%. FanAboard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). FIFA Official App's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
