What is a FootballTalento match?
A FootballTalento match is a one-off football game you host and manage on the platform — as an individual pickup game or as a club team fixture. Set who can join, confirm the lineup, and keep chat, referees and matchday details together.
Hosting adapts to you
Two ways to host a match.
Whether you're a player organizing a pickup game or a club arranging a fixture, the setup is built around how you actually play.
With your club team
Arrange a fixture for one of your club's teams.
- Direct-invite a team, post an open challenge, or restrict it to chosen teams
- Only the accepting opponent pays the team fee
- Pick your starting lineup from the team's full roster

What is a FootballTalento match?
It is a one-off football game you host and manage on the platform, either as an individual pickup game or as a club team fixture. You set who can join, confirm the lineup, and keep chat, referees and matchday details together.
Can I host as a player, or do I need a club?
Either. Players can host an individual pickup game, and clubs can arrange a team fixture for one of their teams.
Who pays for a club team fixture?
Only the team that accepts the challenge pays the team fee. The hosting club does not pay to put the fixture up.
Can I control who sees my match?
Yes. Open it to everyone, limit it to your own groups or teams, or open it to your groups first and the public later if spots remain by your deadline.
Can I pick who's actually playing?
Yes. Organizers can pick the lineup that plays from the full roster; leaving it unset sends the whole team or group.
Can a match repeat every week?
Yes. A recurring match can repeat weekly, starting private and automatically opening to the public closer to kickoff, until an end date or repeat limit you set.
