A team is a group of players that competes in matches within a specific competition. Teams can exist independently or belong to a parent club. When you create a team, you define which competition it plays in, set its graphic display names for broadcast overlays, upload its logo, and configure its colors.

​

You need to create teams before you can create matches. At minimum, you need two teams assigned to the same competition to create a match.

​

​

To begin, click Assets > Clubs and Teams, then click the red Create a Club or Team button in the top right corner of the page. From the dropdown that appears, select Create a Team.

​

Next, fill out the team's details. Select the sport, then select the competition — this is important, as it determines which matches can use this team. Choose the division, age group, and gender, then enter the team's name and select a default venue. Finally, enter the graphic display names: Full Name, Medium Name, and Short Name.

​

Once the details are filled in, upload the team logo by clicking the upload button. You can crop the image, auto-remove or manually remove the background, and zoom as needed, then click Save.

​

Then select the team colors: primary color (click the color palette), secondary color, primary text color, and secondary text color.

​

Finally, click Create Team to finish creating the team.

​

​

Teams must be assigned to a competition to appear in match creation. When creating a match, you select a competition first, then choose teams. Only teams assigned to that competition will appear in the home/away team dropdowns.

​

If you create a team without assigning it to a competition during creation, you can add the competition assignment later by editing the team. Navigate to the team's General tab, click on the Competitions section, and select one or multiple competitions from the dropdown that appears.

​

Graphic display names control how the team's name appears on broadcast graphics. You set three versions:

​

• Full Name: Longest version

​

• Medium Name: Mid-length version

​

• Short Name: Abbreviated version

​

This ensures names fit properly in different graphic layouts during broadcasts.

​

Team colors affect graphic design elements that appear during broadcasts. You configure four color values:

​

• Primary color: Main team color

​

• Secondary color: Alternate team color

​

• Primary text color: Text color for use with primary color backgrounds

​

• Secondary text color: Text color for use with secondary color backgrounds

​

These colors are separate from kit colors, which are set later and appear in the control room during broadcasts.

​

You can create teams without clubs. However, using clubs makes management easier when you have multiple teams under one organization. Teams that belong to clubs inherit the club's logo, colors, and venue by default, though you can override these at the team level if needed.
