Football-Specific, Not General-Purpose

A general group tool treats a football team like any other group. A football-first app understands squads, positions, formations, fixtures and league tables out of the box — nothing to adapt or work around.

The Competition In The Same App

Availability and messaging are only half of matchday. Look for real leagues and cups with auto-generated fixtures, live scores and standings — not just an events calendar with attendance.

A Profile For Every Player

Every player should get a football profile with stats, XP and achievements that follow them across teams and seasons — so turning up on Sunday builds a real football record.

Availability & Squad

Know Who's Playing Before You Pick The XI

Everything you'd expect from a team organising app is here: one squad for the season, availability confirmed per match, and automatic reminders — organised for football from the start.

Players confirm or decline each fixture from their phone
Full roster with positions, shirt numbers and photos
Automatic notifications for fixtures, results and team news
Drag-and-drop formations built from the confirmed squad

Standings, top scorers and full team and player statistics
Followers and family watch the score update in real time

League standings and fixtures in the 4league app

If you run a multi-sport club, need general group communication across many different activities, or rely on built-in payment collection and fundraising, Spond's general-purpose approach may suit you better. 4league is the stronger fit when your world is football and you want the competition itself — fixtures, live scores, league tables and stats — living in the same app as your squad.

Is 4league a good Spond alternative for football?

Yes, if your team plays football. 4league covers the organising basics — squad, availability, scheduling and team news — and adds what a general group app doesn't include: real leagues and cups, auto-generated fixtures, live scores, standings and per-player statistics.

Does 4league handle player availability like a group organiser app?

Yes. Players confirm or decline each fixture directly from their phone, so you know who's turning up before you set the lineup, and the whole squad is notified automatically about fixtures and results.

Is 4league free for organising a football team?

Yes. 4league is free for one team — squad management, fixtures, lineups, live scores, standings and statistics included. The free plan also includes one community group with chat and member polls. Upgrade to PRO when you need more.

Can I run a whole league in 4league, not just my team?

Yes. Create leagues, cups and group + knockout tournaments with fixtures auto-generated by the round-robin Berger algorithm, live scoring, standings, referee tools and multi-season history — all from your phone.

Which platforms does 4league run on?

4league is a mobile-first app, free to download on iOS and Android. Competitions and teams are publicly viewable, so fans and family can follow fixtures, live scores and results.
