Across emerging markets, physical sports — futsal leagues, campus tournaments, club fixtures — are organized the same way they were a decade ago: registration in a WhatsApp group, schedules on a shared spreadsheet, payments collected in cash, and stats that live in someone's notebook until they're lost.
We hit this exact wall organizing the Team North Futsal Championship — a PKR 100,000 tournament in Islamabad run almost entirely by hand. PlayOn is what we built because that shouldn't be how it works.
Teams and players sign up, submit rosters, and pay in one flow — no forms in a group chat.
Fixtures, groups, and knockout brackets generate themselves and update as results come in.
Entry fees and sponsorships collected online, tracked against every team and event.
Player and team stats captured match-by-match, surfaced as live leaderboards.
One screen for the organizer to manage teams, venues, officials, and standings in real time.
A PKR 100,000 futsal tournament we organized end-to-end: registration, scheduling, payments, and standings, all handled manually across chat groups and spreadsheets. It worked — but it shouldn't have taken that much manual effort. PlayOn is being built directly from that operating experience, alongside our ongoing partnership on the Islamabad Futsal League.
