FootManager keeps a football group organised without the endless group-chat scroll. Create a group, share one invite link, and everyone lands in the same place. ORGANISE THE MATCH Post a poll and see who's in at a glance. Guests welcome — members can bring people along without needing an account of their own. OPEN MATCHES Short on players? Post an open match and let people outside your group ask to join. You approve who's in. BALANCED TEAMS Split the confirmed players into fair sides in one tap, based on the positions people actually play. Adjust by hand if you disagree. SET UP THE PITCH Drag players into a formation so everyone turns up knowing where they're playing. VENUES Keep the pitches you use in one list, with the details you need to book them. GROUP CHAT Talk to the whole group in one thread, with mentions so the right people see it, and notifications when something needs you. STAY IN CONTROL Mute a group that's gone quiet, block anyone you'd rather not hear from, and report anything that's out of line. BUILT FOR REAL GROUPS Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Available in English, Albanian and Macedonian. Delete your account whenever you want, straight from the app. Free, with no ads and no tracking.
