Foot8 is the app for organizing and managing your private five-a-side football leagues with friends, from player call-ups to the final standings. Create a league, invite players with a code, and add temporary participants too. You can assign roles, schedule matches with date, time, location, and duration, collect attendance from invited players, and let each player respond with confirmed, maybe, or declined. When you do not know when to play, you can create a poll, suggest multiple dates and times, add different durations, and see who voted for each option. Once the participants are confirmed, Foot8 helps you create balanced teams, choose shirt colors, and set either a fixed goalkeeper or a rotating goalkeeper. After the match, you can enter the result, goal scorers, and MVP. The app updates statistics, recent results, attendance, wins, goals, and each player’s performance. Each player has a personal card with an Overall rating, statistics, and progress over time. The rankings are individual, not team-based, so you can track each participant’s performance in the league. Foot8 also includes operational notifications, upcoming matches, opening the location in maps, and player card theme customization.

Ever picked yourself in a fantasy league? With Panka, fantasy soccer takes the field with your real team. You don't pick MLS or Premier League stars: you pick yourself and your teammates, the people you play with every week. Before every game you set your fantasy lineup. After the final whistle the coach enters the ratings and the app calculates the scores: if the players you picked get a good rating and earn bonuses, you climb the locker-room standings. HOW PANKA WORKS • Join your team: sign up and join your group with the invite code. Everyone has a role and a price in credits. • Set your fantasy lineup: before kickoff, choose who to start within your budget. Take a gamble and unlock extra points with tactical modifiers. • See the ratings: the coach or admin enters the game ratings. The app does all the math automatically from ratings, goals and penalties. • Climb the standings: rack up points game after game and grab first place in the locker room. FOR COACHES AND ADMINS Panka isn't just for fantasy players: if you coach a team, it's your digital locker room. • Quick call-ups, ready to send on WhatsApp. • Try out your lineup before the game. • Enter post-game ratings in a few taps. • Keep track of practice attendance, membership dues and medical forms. • Schedule practices and organize the calendar.
