Managers are able to have an unparalleled in depth analysis and overview of the operation of their organization. Abler is developed in collaboration with Iceland´s leading sports organisations.

The Friendly App is the new home of grassroots sport. Built for the people who organise it, play it, support it and referee it, our platform connects local communities through football and, in the future, multiple sports across the UK and beyond. Whether you are a team manager searching for friendlies, a player wanting to build a profile, a parent following your child’s team, or a referee looking for more games, The Friendly App is designed to bring grassroots sport together in one place. Grassroots football is massive, but organising matches, finding players, promoting tournaments and keeping communities connected is still stuck in WhatsApp groups, Facebook posts and endless messages. The Friendly App changes that. With The Friendly App, users can register as one of four account types: • Manager • Player • Fan • Referee Each user type has its own dashboard and future feature roadmap designed specifically for how they interact with the game. MANAGER FEATURES Managers can register their club, team and age group while preparing for future match management tools, friendly match creation, player management systems, tournament listings, messaging tools and club growth features. PLAYER FEATURES Players can create their own profile and player card, helping build identity and community around grassroots sport. Future updates will include player statistics, achievements, team connections and social features. FAN FEATURES Fans can follow the grassroots game from the sidelines. Whether you are a parent, supporter or football enthusiast, future versions of the app will include fixtures, updates, competitions, club content and community engagement tools. REFEREE FEATURES Referees can register their details and prepare for future referee opportunities, match availability systems and grassroots officiating support tools.
