04 / 2026–2027 · First 50

PLAYGRND · 2026

The first 50. Building together.

Founding Organizers 2026–2027: entry closes at 50 active organizers or 25,000 activated player profiles, whichever comes first.

Set the standard together

Early organizers help shape the tools, data standards and platform through real competitions and feedback. They supply official data and bring teams and players into the product.

The core plan stays free

Accepted organizers keep standard core competition management free permanently, including after commercial plans launch. PLAYGRND provides the product, hosting and standard self-service workflow.

Mobile apps · 2026 target

We plan to release iOS and Android apps, subject to testing and app store approval (planned release by the end of 2026).

Outside the free core: manual archive and data work, custom imports, premium support, sponsorship activation, bookings, payments and media, unless separately agreed.

PLAYGRND · 2026

Easier team management. More time to play.

Our 2027 plan connects team managers, organizers and people looking for a game.

Player registration and tournament entry

A manager registers players and enters a team in a tournament. We plan to connect this with match reports: WhatsApp AI prepares the entry, then the organizer checks and confirms it.

Pick-up football · one player short

Pick-up football already supports arrangements and RSVPs. In 2027, we want to make it easier to fill an open place, with a clear time, location and team agreement.

Video · second half of 2027

A possible pilot for recording matches and sharing footage with the necessary permissions. This early video step is separate from the later network of fully equipped grounds.

2027 development targets · Video depends on testing, the necessary rights and a feasible pilot.

06 / Partnerships

PLAYGRND · 2026

A team has a need. A partner sees an opportunity.

We plan to connect teams and tournaments with sponsors, sports stores and jersey suppliers.

Teams look for sponsors

Money, equipment, jerseys or entry fees: a team states what it needs, what it offers in return and on what terms.

Sponsors find teams and tournaments

A sponsor finds a community it wants to support. Visibility on a jersey or at a competition, obligations and the value of the partnership should be clearly agreed.

Sports stores and jerseys

Planned integrations connect the offer, sizes and numbers, crest and sponsor printing, group orders and partner discounts. Later, we want to connect orders with checkout and a wallet.

Planned partnership model · Offers, integrations and discounts depend on future agreements with partners.

07 / 2028 · Organization

PLAYGRND · 2026

From booking a pitch to running a competition.

In 2028, we want to connect arranging games, sharing team costs and running competitions.

Book a pitch

We plan to show available slots, prices and venue rules, with booking for the team.

Share the cost

Shared payments and a wallet should make pitch fees or tournament entry fees easier to split, with clear charges and refund terms.

Run your own competition

The goal is to enable your own competition: format, entries, rules, schedule and results in one place, from 3v3 to 11v11.

2028 plan · Bookings and payments depend on development, suitable partners and agreed terms.

PLAYGRND · 2026

Football for new generations.

2029 → ∞: our ambition is an all-in-one football platform, connecting the journey from a first pick-up game to a more serious playing career.

First half of 2029 · grounds

The first planned PLAYGRND-enabled grounds bring together video, a scoreboard, rules and reservations. Partnerships and a possible franchise model would grow the network with local hosts.

Second half of 2029 · player choice

Several teams can make an offer, and the player chooses. Terms cover a season or a specific tournament, with agreements formalized through suitable partners.

2029 → ∞ · the whole game

From an amateur looking for a game to a player pursuing a more serious career. Players, organizers, venues, teams, sponsors, stores and partnerships connected in one ecosystem.

Long-term development direction · The network and player offers depend on pilots, partners and agreed rules.
