The Football Stats Your Group Chat Can't Track

A WhatsApp group can tell you who replied with a thumbs up. It can't tell you who's actually turned up for six weeks straight, or who quietly stopped paying two months ago.

WHAT DUGOUT TRACKS AUTOMATICALLY

Every organiser using FC Urban gets a dashboard showing attendance history, who's paid, and a leaderboard, without anyone manually updating a spreadsheet.

‍

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR KEEPING A GROUP ALIVE

Groups fall apart quietly — attendance drifts down before anyone notices. A live view of who's showing up (and who isn't) means you can re-engage people before they disappear for good, not after.

‍

IT'S ALSO JUST MORE FUN

A leaderboard turns a casual kickabout into something people want to show up for and compete on, which is its own reason groups last longer.

FAQ

Do I need to set up the stats tracking myself?

No — it's automatic as soon as your game runs through FC Urban for Organisers. You can add stats after the game like goals scored and end score.

‍

Can players see the leaderboard too?

Yes — it's visible to the whole group, not just the organiser.

‍

Does this work for a group that's been playing informally for years?

Yes — moving an existing group onto FC Urban starts tracking stats and attendance from the first game onward.
