A squad sheet the captain actually controls.
Football squad management software keeps each team’s registered players, shirt numbers and positions. In LeagueUnion captains manage their own squad, and that squad feeds availability, the referee’s match-day roll call and every player’s record of appearances, goals and cards.
| No. | Player | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | D. Okafor | Goalkeeper |
| 4 | T. Walsh | Defender |
| 5 | R. Iqbal | Defender |
| 8 | J. Moreno | Midfielder |
| 10 | S. Adeyemi | Midfielder |
| 9 | K. Novak | Forward |
Number taken Shirt 10 is already assigned in this club.
The squad lives in the captain’s phone.
Organisers need to know who is registered to play. Captains need to know who is turning up. Both questions usually get answered from memory, a group chat and an old spreadsheet.
When the match-day team sheet does not match the registered squad, goals and cards end up credited to the wrong player, or to nobody.
How it works in LeagueUnion
Build the squad
Captains add players, give them shirt numbers and set a position: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder or forward.
Keep numbers clean
Two players in the same club cannot be given the same shirt number.
Prepare for the fixture
The squad is the list of players asked to respond for each upcoming match.
Record the match
The referee takes the roll call from the squad, so goals and cards are credited to the right player.

Questions organisers ask
What does football squad management include?
Keeping each team’s registered players, shirt numbers and positions, and using that list for availability, match-day roll call and player records.
Can captains manage the squad without league admin access?
Yes. Captains manage their own team’s squad. League settings, fixtures and results stay with the organiser.
Can a player play one match as a guest?
Yes. A guest can be added to a single match’s roll call without joining the registered squad, so the club’s official history stays unchanged.
