FairPlay FC

FairPlay FC is a football coaching app, substitution planner and playing-time tracker built for grassroots and youth football coaches.

Plan your line-up before kick-off, manage timed or rolling substitutions from the touchline and track each player’s playing time throughout the season.

PLAN YOUR MATCH

Prepare everything before arriving at the ground:

• Add your squad and player positions
• Enter the opponent, date and match format
• Choose your formation and starting line-up
• Set the match length, periods and substitution interval
• Select your goalkeeper and captain
• Save upcoming matches ready for kick-off
• Share planned line-ups with parents or assistant coaches

SUBSTITUTION TIMER AND PLAYER ROTATIONS

FairPlay FC combines a football match timer with simple substitution and player-rotation tools.

• Run timed or rolling substitutions
• Receive clear substitution reminders
• See who is playing and who is on the bench
• Track individual playing time and bench time
• Adjust the line-up when players arrive late or leave early
• Make changes following injuries or unexpected events
• Keep the score and match clock together

The playing-time tracker gives you a clearer view of each player’s minutes without taking your attention away from the match.

• Track the score
• Record goals and goal scorers

• Save the final result
• Review previous matches and performances

FairPlay FC keeps your football results, player statistics and match history together in one place.

FAIRER PLAYING TIME

Giving every child opportunities can be difficult when matches become busy. FairPlay FC provides clearer information to support calmer, more informed decisions.

Track minutes and bench time across individual matches and the full season. Fairness suggestions can help identify players who may be due an opportunity as captain, Player of the Match or in the starting line-up.

FairPlay FC does not make coaching decisions for you. It gives you a clearer picture so you can use your own judgement.
