Football coverage

Football, from 7-a-side turf leagues to full-field finals

Most football we cover is not on a full field. It is 7-a-side and 9-a-side on turf under lights, played in short halves on a tight pitch - which needs a different camera plan and a different scoreboard from a ninety-minute match.

A generic score bug with the words changed does not work. These are the fields our graphics carry for football, driven live from the scorer.

Benches, celebrations and the tunnel.

Tournament formats we cover

Corporate and club leagues on turf in the evenings, 7-a-side and 9-a-side knockouts over a weekend, and full-field district tournaments. Short halves mean matches come fast, so the graphics preset and the team sheets have to be ready before the day, not built between matches.

Turf arenas under lights

A turf arena has a fence, floodlights pointing in several directions and no room for a camera tower. Positions get chosen for what the arena has - usually one elevated corner and a goal camera - and the exposure is set for the floodlights rather than fought against.

Questions we get asked

Before you enquire

Can you stream a whole evening of matches?

Yes. Back-to-back matches on one pitch is the normal booking for a turf league, with the graphics preset switching teams between matches.

Can we run a season-long league on the platform?

Yes. Team registration, fixtures and a public page for the league, with the table published as the season runs.

Do you cover school football?

Yes, and age-group tournaments are a good fit for AI commentary, since parents watch from elsewhere.
