When leagues organize hundreds of matches each season, getting the logistics right isn’t just important—it’s mission-critical. Yet matchday operations still rely on outdated systems, fragmented communication, and manual processes that invite errors, oversights, and delays.

The Matchday Management capability in the League Operations Solution modernizes how leagues and clubs prepare for, manage, and review every fixture—from kit assignments and lineup validation to real-time match reporting. It ensures all stakeholders receive the right information at the right time, supporting transparency, governance, and a seamless matchday experience.

As part of the League Operations Solution in iP: Intelligence Platform, Matchday Management unifies game-day logistics into a single, intelligent workflow. By automating compliance and streamlining communication, it transforms each match into a reliable source of data for operational decisions and long-term planning.

Here’s How: A Unified Approach to Matchday Operations

Matchday Management brings together three tightly integrated capabilities:

• Matchday Notice – Centralizes and distributes key game details
• Matchday Lineup – Ensures lineup compliance and roster accuracy
• Matchday Reporting – Tracks and archives match events in real time

Together, these three elements replace fragmented workflows with a connected system for matchday planning, execution, and post-game analysis.

Matchday Notice: One Source of Truth

Too many leagues still rely on emails, spreadsheets, or messaging apps to share essential matchday information. This creates noise, confusion, and unnecessary risk.

Matchday Notice keeps everyone in sync—league staff, clubs, referees, broadcasters, and venue operators—by organizing all match details in one location:

• Provide match date, time, location, and broadcaster details
• Assign match officials and VAR personnel
• Designate kit colors for teams and officials
• Define matchday roles (e.g., Match Director, Medical Director)

With a few clicks, leagues can generate and distribute structured matchday notices, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and accountability.

Matchday Lineup: Built-In Compliance

Inaccurate lineups and missing staff assignments can create game day chaos. Matchday Lineup makes compliance automatic.

It enforces league-specific rules regarding roster size, player eligibility, staff assignments, and formations, giving clubs real-time feedback as they build their squads.

Key actions:

• Build lineups using a drag-and-drop interface with saved templates
• Validate eligibility in real time, flagging suspensions or injuries
• Define sideline roles for emergency response and governance
• Share finalized lineups transparently with officials and broadcasters

By the time a lineup is submitted, leagues can be confident it’s compliant, complete, and ready for kickoff—no last-minute scrambling.

Matchday Reporting: A Complete Record

Post-match reporting doesn’t need to be manual or time-consuming. Matchday Reporting enables efficient and easy game event data capture—goals, cards, substitutions, shootouts—and locks in the data for compliance, analysis, and strategic review.

Actions include:

• Log match events live or post-game using pitch and list views
• Maintain data integrity through role-based permissions
• Access match summaries and historical data instantly
• Manage reports securely to support audits and dispute resolution

Whether for competition governance or executive decision-making, Matchday Reporting ensures leagues have a consistent, accessible, and actionable record of every fixture.

Built for the Realities of Matchday Execution

Unlike generic game schedule management tools or standalone lineup checkers, the Matchday Management capability in the League Operations Solution was purpose-built for the complexity, compliance demands, and pace of elite competition.

While other systems may track match information or lineups in isolation, few deliver the automation, integration, and transparency required to coordinate stakeholders and uphold governance on matchday.

Here, matchday isn’t a disconnected set of tasks—it’s a fully connected operational workflow. From match notices and lineup compliance to in-game reporting, every detail is structured, time-stamped, and instantly accessible to the people who need it.

And because each capability in the League Operations Solution is modular, leagues can adopt the functionality they need—like Matchday Management—without being forced into a one-size-fits-all system.
