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.

The match report includes

the following features:

Use of data from other DFBnet modules

Automatic checking of player eligibility or possible

suspensions when creating team line-ups

Verification of association and league rules when

creating team line-ups

Automatic alerts in case of rule violations or errors

Management of player lists and team line-ups in a

database

Simplifies team line-ups by accessing data from

previous matches

Monitoring of referee data including plausibility check

Automatic creation of press reports featuring team

line-ups and official match data

Basis for goal scorer, player and card statistics

Networking with sports disciplinary system and

Liveticker

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.

available as a responsive

version for the optimized use

on mobile devices and in the

DFBnet app.
