    The state of the Irish soccer club

    Soccer in Ireland is the biggest grassroots sport — and the most fragmented.

    A typical Irish soccer club fields anywhere from 6 to 25 teams across schoolboy, schoolgirl, senior men's, senior women's, academy and walking football — often training across two or three pitches with one floodlit slot everyone wants.

    Most clubs run on a stack of WhatsApp, a Google Sheet, an unloved Clubforce subscription and a bank account the treasurer cross-checks at 11pm on a Wednesday. ClubRovia replaces all of it — one club, one platform, one ledger, no monthly fee.

    Every workflow is designed for the schoolboy/girl coordinator running 12 age groups, the senior manager managing a squad of 22, and the registrar who needs FAI-ready exports without re-keying a thing.

    The reality today

    Running a soccer club in 2026 shouldn't feel like this.

    Subs collection is a Sunday-morning nightmare

    Coaches collecting cash on the sideline, parents 'I'll bring it next week', and a registrar trying to reconcile it all by Wednesday.

    10+ teams, 10+ WhatsApp groups

    Schoolboy/girl coordinators, age-group secretaries, the senior manager and the treasurer all communicating in parallel — nothing shared, nothing logged.

    FAI affiliation paperwork

    Player registration lists, coach qualifications and safeguarding records all need to be exportable to the FAI on demand.

    Pitch allocation politics

    Two senior teams, four juvenile teams, one floodlit pitch — who's training Wednesday at 7?

    Every section, one club

    Schoolboy, schoolgirl, senior, academy and walking football.

    Each section has its own roster, sub fees and comms — but rolls up to one treasurer dashboard and one FAI-aligned export.

    Schoolboy / SFAI

    U6 through U18 boys' teams with age-band rules, family pricing and per-team sub fees.

    Schoolgirl / WFAI

    Mirror schoolboy structure with separate WFAI registration data and dedicated team comms.

    Senior men's

    First team and reserves with match-day 16 selection, subs collection and away travel coordination.

    Senior women's

    Independent senior squad with its own panel, own sub structure and shared facility booking.

    Academy / development

    Trial intake, paid academy programmes, parent communication and Stripe-based recurring fees.

    Walking football & social

    Lower-frequency adult programmes with simple pay-and-play or seasonal membership.
