The whole family, at every game. Soccer Sync turns youth matchdays into something everyone can follow live — the score on your Lock Screen, every goal the second it happens, whether you're on the sideline or three time zones away. It works even if you're the only one on your team using it. Track the match yourself, and anyone you share a link with can follow along in a browser — no app, no account. LIVE MATCH CENTER Run the whole match from one screen: running clock, goals and assists, cards, substitutions, halves or quarters, extra time, hydration breaks, and penalty shootouts. Every event lands on a minute-accurate, colour-coded timeline. REFEREE MODE Refs get their own profile with a shareable ref ID and QR code. Run any match from the phone console — added time, cards with the offence, penalties and shootouts, hydration breaks, undo — and invite other refs onto the same match by ref ID. APPLE WATCH Referee or coach from your wrist: kick off, goals, cards, breaks and undo, with the match clock and a period countdown. Taps relay through your iPhone, so the phone can stay in your pocket. LOCK SCREEN SCOREBOARD Live Activities put the score and match clock on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with push notifications the moment anything happens — so family can follow without opening the app. SCHEDULES THAT STAY IN SYNC Matches and practices in one weekly agenda, with RSVPs for both. Share the season as a picture-perfect card, a calendar file, or a live calendar subscription that keeps every kickoff — reschedules included — in Apple or Google Calendar. TEAM CHAT A room for every season and tournament, with pinned announcements, replies, and reactions, so matchday plans never get lost in a group text. LINEUPS Set the starting lineup on a formation board, make substitutions in windows, and see yellow cards and send-offs right on the players. PLAYER PAGES & STATS Every player gets a page: lifetime and per-season stats, a form guide, match history, and share cards worthy of the fridge door. BUILT FOR YOUTH SPORTS Player pages are private by default. Every surface — pages, timelines, addresses, follower lists — has its own audience control. Parents can create managed accounts for their kids, and anyone asking to follow a child's profile is approved by the parent first. FOR EVERYONE AROUND THE TEAM • Coaches — create the team, share one join code, and run matchday from your pocket. • Referees — your profile, your matches, your whistle — on your phone or your watch. • Parents and family — catch the score from work, the stands, or another time zone. • Players — your number, your goals, and a season you can look back on. — Soccer Sync is free to download and use, supported by small banner ads (never shown to child accounts). Two optional subscriptions are available: Ad-Free removes the ads, and Advanced Tools adds advanced player and team stats plus match schedule import, ad-free. Each is offered as a Season Pass (3 months), Half-Year, or Full Year, billed through your Apple ID and renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in iOS Settings. Privacy policy: https://www.soccer-sync.com/privacy Terms of use: https://www.soccer-sync.com/terms
