Match report
The match report is an electronic version of the
official match
report
in which clubs enter their team line-up and referees enter
all match events after the match. Developed in close liaison with
the DFL, the software was used in the 2004/2005 season of the
German national league for the first time. The match report has
also been simplifying the processes in amateur football since
2006 and helps clubs
eliminate spelling and line-up errors
.
The networking with other match day operation modules allows
inclusion of relevant data such as player name, referee or venue
without having to re-enter the data. The information required for
checking player eligibility is provided by the players registration
module and the sports disciplinary system, which in turn uses
data from the match report.
Since 2015, the match report is also available in a
mobile version
for smartphones and tablets. The mobile match report consider-
ably simplifies the work of coaches and staff members, particu-
larly at sports fields that do not have direct Internet access due
to their location.

It used to take me 15 minutes to write
players’ names, dates of birth and numbers on the paper form.
Today, it only takes two minutes to complete the match report –
and I'm still very flexible, because I can easily
add or exchange players.
