Family A · The pitch
Short of players? Post your match.
You've got the pitch and the time, you're four players down. Post the match : it shows up in Discover for players in your area, and the spots fill themselves.
In 30 seconds
- Middle « + » tab → Post a Match.
- Choose the pitch, then the date and time.
- Type, level, maximum players, duration — and the price if the pitch costs money.
- « PUBLISH MATCH » : it's visible in Discover immediately.
The form, field by field
Only the pitch and the date are genuinely required. Everything else starts from a sensible default.
Pitch
Search the list by name or town. Yours isn't there? Add it in three fields — see the note below.
Date & time
A match posted for the same day rises to « urgent » in Discover : that's the one that fills fastest.
For a regular slot, don't repost every week : set up a group and switch on the recurring match.
Type & level
Football or futsal, then the level you expect. It's the first thing other players filter on — be honest, it saves lopsided evenings.
FutsalFootballBeginnerIntermediateAdvancedMaximum players & duration
Count yourself in if you're playing. That number feeds the gauge everyone else sees, and decides when the match flips to « full ».
Price per player — optional
Leave it empty and the match shows as « Free ». Otherwise give the share per player : you settle it between yourselves, on site. Gaùcho collects nothing.
« I'm playing in this match »
Ticked by default. Untick it if you're organising without playing : you keep control of the match without taking one of the spots.
Your pitch isn't in the list
Choose « Add a missing pitch » and give its name, address and town. The pitch then exists for the whole community. The database is curated by hand : adding your local cage helps everyone who plays there after you.
Once it's published
What the match does on its own, and what stays in your hands.
Automatic
- It appears in Discover for players in the area
- Available players get a notification
- A match chat opens with everyone who's in
- Reminders go out the day before and roughly 2 h before kick-off
- The match flips to « full » as soon as the numbers are met
Down to you
- Editing the details while the match hasn't started
- Inviting your friends by link if you're still short
- Picking the teams and logging the score
- Ending the match, which opens ratings for everyone
Stuck?
Can I edit a match I've already published?
Yes, while it hasn't started. Players who are in get notified of the change. Once the match has started or been ended, the details are locked — that's what keeps the history and the ratings tied to what actually happened.
Nobody's joining my match
Three levers, in this order. Check the level you announced : « advanced » rules a lot of people out. Check the time : weekday slots after 19:00 fill best. Then use « Invite via a link » to share it straight to your friends or a group chat.
How do I cancel a match?
From the match card. Players who are in get told. Try not to cancel late : people who planned their evening around your slot take it badly, and it shows up in the ratings.
Do I have to end the match?
Yes, and it matters : ending it is what opens the ratings. Without that, nobody can rate anybody and the match doesn't move cleanly into the history.
Can I create a match just for my friends?
Yes, through a group. A group match is private by default : it doesn't appear in Discover and only members can join. You can then open spots to the public if you're short. See the Create a group guide.
Post your first match.
Two minutes of typing, and your side completes itself.
