Browse available clubs, view their profiles, and apply to join. Clubs can also scout and invite you directly. Once accepted, you'll sign a digital contract through the platform.

Can I play for multiple clubs?

Active contracts are exclusive, but you can have multiple contracts across different time periods. Make sure to review contract terms and end dates.

How are my statistics tracked?

Your performance stats (goals, assists, matches played) are automatically updated based on match data entered by clubs and tournament organizers.

For Clubs

What features are included in club membership?

Club membership includes: complete club profile, player management, unlimited digital contracts, tournament participation, analytics dashboard, and priority support.

How do digital contracts work?

Create contract templates, send to players for review, and both parties sign digitally. All contracts are legally binding and stored securely on the platform.

Can I organize my own tournaments?

Yes! Club members can organize friendly matches (both official and hobby level) and manage them on the platform. Additionally, clubs can participate in tournaments organized by PCL. You can set up fixtures, track standings, and manage matches within your club.

Tournaments

How do I register my club for a tournament?

Browse available tournaments, review requirements, and submit your club's registration. Tournament organizers will review and confirm participation.

What tournament formats are supported?

We support various formats including league (round-robin), knockout, and hybrid formats with group stages and playoffs.

How are tournament standings calculated?

Standings are automatically updated based on match results using standard football scoring (3 points for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss).

Payments & Billing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit/debit cards, UPI, net banking, and popular digital wallets. All payments are processed securely.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Your membership type (Player or Club) is tied to your account role and cannot be changed. If you want to switch roles, you would need to create a separate account with a different email address, as each role has its own membership requirements.

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your subscription remains active until the end of the billing period. Note: Your membership role cannot be changed once selected.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are available within 7 days of purchase if you haven't used platform features. Since membership is role-based and non-transferable, refunds are only available under exceptional circumstances. See our refund policy for details.
