How it works

  1. 01

    Enter the basics

    The wizard asks step by step: start time, team count, format, pitches and match length. You add the team names afterwards in your dashboard.

  2. 02

    Get your schedule

    From your answers the app assigns fixtures, rounds and pitches automatically. No team has two matches at the same time, and nobody has to work anything out by hand.

  3. 03

    Share it live

    You share one link with every team. Enter a result at the touchline and everyone sees the new standings within seconds.

What it looks like in the app

The settings with match length and breaks, a result entered live at the touchline, and the public tournament page every team sees through the link.

Which format suits your tournament?

The app worked out these figures for 8 teams on 2 pitches, with 10-minute matches, 2-minute breaks and the usual breaks between rounds. The wizard shows you the figures for your team count and timings before you create anything.

Web app

Runs in your browser: nothing to install

AreaCopa is a web app. You open it in your browser, on your phone, tablet or laptop, and get started.

There is nothing to download from an app store and no update to wait for. Teams and parents only need the link to the tournament, no account and no app.

If you use it often, add it to your home screen from the browser menu and it is one tap away.

For your tournament

Not every tournament is a day on a full-size pitch. Indoors, time is tight; in youth football the age group decides the format; and a league runs for a whole season. That is why you set match length, breaks, pitches and format yourself in the app, and for a season it plans real matchdays instead of a single day. What applies to your case, with proven formats and figures, is on these pages:

  • Indoor

    Indoor tournament

    The hall is booked and the pitch is small. Short matches and a format that suits the number of teams keep the timetable. The page shows proven indoor templates and the live link for parents in the stands.

  • Youth

    Youth tournament

    Children play different formats depending on their age group. Which bracket fits depends on the number of teams. The page covers formats by age group, the festival format for U7–U9 and a checklist up to match day.

  • Season

    League

    A season with many matchdays is easy to lose track of on paper. The app plans real matchdays, home and away if you like, and keeps the table. The page shows how you set up the league and what players and spectators see.

Frequently asked questions

Is this football tournament app really free?
Yes, AreaCopa is free, with no premium version and no advertising. You can create as many tournaments as you like. All you need to get started is your email address, no credit card as other apps ask for.
Which tournament formats can I plan?
AreaCopa plans round robin, group stage with a knockout round or placement matches, and pure knockout, for 2 to 32 teams (pure knockout: 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 teams). The app sets up the fixtures, assigns rounds and pitches, and keeps the standings, including tiebreakers, live. For a whole season there is the league mode.
Can the teams see the schedule live?
Yes, AreaCopa creates a public link for every tournament: you share it, and every team sees the standings and their next match on their phone at any time. Enter a result and the table updates within a few seconds, so nobody has to ask.
Do I need to install anything?
No, AreaCopa runs in the browser, on any phone, tablet or laptop. You need no app store and no update. Teams open the tournament through a link, without an account.
Can I print the schedule?
Yes, AreaCopa creates a PDF on the print page, either as a blank schedule or with all results, in portrait or landscape. There is also a poster with a QR code that takes spectators straight to the live standings.
How many teams and pitches are possible?
AreaCopa plans tournaments with up to 32 teams, pure knockout with 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 teams. In the wizard you plan group tournaments with up to 8 pitches, and any tournament afterwards in its settings with up to 20. You set match length and breaks yourself, so the plan fits small-sided games as well as a full-size pitch.
Can I also plan a league over a whole season?
Yes, with the league mode of AreaCopa. It plans a season with real matchdays, home and away if you like. The table runs across the whole season, and everyone follows it through the same link.
What happens to my data?
For your tournament AreaCopa mainly stores team names, schedule, results and your email address as the organiser. Teams and spectators need no account and enter no data. What exactly is stored and why is explained in the privacy policy.
