Kicklist is where game day gets organized. Build the squads, run the tournament, and share it all in a few taps — whether it's a Tuesday night 5v5 or a 32-team cup with your whole group. MAKE YOUR OWN PLAYER CARD With the new Kick Card, you're the star. Pick a photo and Kicklist removes the background for you. Enter your position, overall rating and six stats, then add your flag and your team's crest. Choose from 20 themes and 5 frames to find the look that suits your card. Save it and your card is unveiled under the stadium lights as your rating counts up. Share it as an image or a reveal video — every card you make waits for you in your Club. DESIGN YOUR OWN KIT Color the body, the stripes, the collar and the cuffs, print your sponsor or your club across the chest, on a panel if you want one — then choose the pitch it is all played on. Your kit goes onto the field and into every picture you share. RUN A REAL TOURNAMENT Group stage, straight knockout, or groups into a final bracket. Kicklist draws the schedule, keeps the standings, and fills the bracket in as results land. Two-legged ties, a single-game final, a third-place game, and tiebreakers you order yourself. When a group ends dead level, Kicklist stops and asks you — nothing is decided behind your back. ONE LINK, EVERYONE WATCHES Share a link and your whole group follows the tournament live in their browser. No app to install, no account to make, no screenshots in the group chat. Standings, schedule and the bracket update the moment you enter a score. Hand a friend a code and they can enter results too. FAIR TEAMS IN SECONDS Pick who's playing and let Kicklist split them into balanced sides. 5v5, 6v6, 7v7 or your own format, with formations for every roster size. No more arguing about who got the stacked team. YOUR CLUB, KEPT Every squad and every game is saved to your Club. Record goals, assists and own goals as they happen, then send the result out as a card that looks like it came off a broadcast. MORE WAYS TO PLAY Build your ideal starting eleven from a deep squad database, or pick a national team lineup. Paste a list of names from your group chat and Kicklist turns it into teams instantly.
