How it works

From sofato kick-off

Three steps, all in the app. No group chat, no spreadsheet, nobody chasing replies.

  1. 01

    Find a game

    Tonight, this weekend or any day you like. Filter by format, indoor or outdoor, spots left or keeper needed, or sort by what's closest to you.

  2. 02

    Grab your spot

    Join in a tap, or send a request when the host picks the squad, and see exactly who else is in. Full? Take a place on the waitlist and you're moved up the moment a spot opens.

Features

Built for theway you play

Everything a pick-up game needs, and nothing it doesn't.

Games near you

Share your location once and every list sorts by distance, or browse by area if you'd rather not.

Filters that get it

Format, day, indoor or outdoor, spots left, keeper needed. One sheet, and they all work together.

Waitlists that run themselves

When someone drops out, the next player in line gets the spot and a notification. Nobody chases anyone.

Invite links

Drop a game into your group chat. Friends tap the link and land straight on it in the app.

Kick-off reminders

You're in, you're off the waitlist, the game changed, the result is out: the notifications that matter.

Live match centre

Goals, assists, saves and cards logged minute by minute, and it keeps working when the signal doesn't.

Ratings from what happened

No popularity votes. Ratings move with real match events, and every result names its MVP.

Hosts you can trust

Every host is approved before they can run a game, and you can report or block anyone in a couple of taps.

Ratings & MVP

Every goalcounts.

No popularity votes from your mates. Everyone starts at 6.0 and moves with what actually happened on the pitch, plus a small bonus from the host.

Goal +0.5Assist +0.3Win +0.3Save, tackle, interception +0.1Yellow card −0.3Red card −1.5Host bonus up to ±1.5
Ratings stay between 3.0 and 10.0 and count once the host publishes the result. Only the players in a game see its ratings; everyone else sees the score, the timeline and the MVP.

Let players join instantly or approve each request yourself, with the waitlist on the same screen.

03

Roll call at the pitch

Mark everyone present, late or a no-show. A no-show's spot goes straight to the waitlist.

04

Log it, publish it

Record the match live, offline included, then publish the result to hand out ratings and the MVP.
