Build your roster, choose a match format, set formations, assign players, track playing time, goals, assists and yellow/red cards, and make substitutions from a clean, field-based interface designed for real games. Create custom teams, opponents, seasons, and formations for 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 matches. Before kickoff, drag and drop players onto the field, adjust your lineup, reuse a previous lineup, and set team-level defaults so each new match starts faster. During the match, Soccer Match Manager keeps the important tools close: start and pause the clock, track the score, manage substitutions, change formations, and monitor player time on the field or bench. Player tiles can show visual play-time progress, while long-press controls let you record yellow cards and red cards and view goals and assists when those tracking options are enabled.
