01

Create the fixture

Open Football → Fixtures and use Create fixture or Fixture tools. Complete Team, Opponent, Match date, Venue and Competition, then save.

02

Select the match workspace

Choose the fixture and verify the team, opponent and date in the selected-match header. That selection is shared across Overview, Team sheets, Player fees, Match reports, Matchday media, Team travel and Fixture tools.

03

Collect match responses

Open Your response on the fixture to mark Going, Maybe or Not going for yourself. Players and linked parents reply for the eligible player from their web Schedule or mobile match details. Authorised staff can review the reply totals and participant list before selecting the squad. A response does not select a player, arrange a lift or record actual attendance.

04

Prepare match details and the squad

Use Team travel for meeting points and lifts, and Team sheets for the formation and release. Check availability and registration from their actual records; a player marked Unassigned in the team-sheet picker is simply not yet in that selection.

05

Record the result for the selected fixture

After full time, use Record result or Fixture tools to enter the score and verified player statistics. Recheck the selected fixture before saving. Switching to another fixture resets its result and report drafts, so finish the current edits first.

06

Complete reports and media

Open Match reports to review the match story and Matchday media for that fixture’s photos, videos and duties. Verify facts before publishing a report or issuing a discretionary award. A completed match remains selectable for follow-up work.

07

Check the published record

Review the final score, player participation and any connected competition update. Published team sheets, reports and media each have their own controls; saving a result does not mean every other matchday task is complete.

Good practice

Checks that prevent common mistakes

  • Keep one selected fixture while moving between matchday jobs.
  • Confirm substitutions and participation before awards or fees are reconciled.
  • Do not reuse a report or score from another fixture.
