The Football Stats App That Tracks Your Match From Video

The Football Stats App Built for Sunday League and Amateur Players

Professional players have analysts, camera crews and performance teams tracking every moment of every match. Most Sunday league and amateur players finish with only the final score, a few memories and an argument in the group chat about who got the assist. Pitchside is being built to change that with a football stats app designed specifically for Sunday league teams and amateur players.

Instead of asking somebody on the touchline to record goals, shots, tackles and saves while the game is happening, the intended Pitchside workflow uses your match footage as the source. Film the game, upload the recording and review your statistics and key moments afterwards.

Pitchside AI is currently in private beta. Product capabilities, supported match formats, processing times and availability may change during testing. Join the early access list to follow development and be notified when access becomes available.

What Is a Football Stats App?

A football stats app records and organises information about a match or player. Basic apps depend on a person entering each goal, assist, shot or tackle. More advanced analysis platforms use match footage to identify events and return useful performance data.

Pitchside is being developed as the second type. It is intended to turn one football match recording into statistics and shareable clips, helping players keep evidence of their performances without wearing tracking equipment or assigning a volunteer to spend the match pressing buttons.

Football Stats Without Recording Every Event by Hand

Manual football statistics apps can be useful, but they only work when someone consistently enters the data. That person must watch the match, decide what counts as an assist or tackle and remember to record every important moment. For many amateur teams, the process stops after one or two games.

Pitchside is being built around a simpler habit: record the match once. The footage can then support both the statistical record and the highlights, rather than forcing the team to maintain separate video, spreadsheet and stat-tracking workflows.

Pitchside vs a Manual Football Stats Tracker

What the Pitchside Football Stats App Is Being Built to Track

The aim is to track the moments that decide grassroots matches and the contributions players discuss afterwards. Exact availability may vary during private beta, but the product direction includes attacking, defensive, goalkeeping, physical and media outputs.

Attacking Statistics

• Goals scored during the match.
• Assists and final passes leading to goals.
• Shots and shots on target.
• Passing events and completed passes where supported.
• Key attacking moments that can be reviewed with the footage.

Defensive Statistics

• Tackles and defensive interventions.
• Interceptions that stop or redirect attacks.
• Blocks and other key defensive moments where supported.
• Contributions from defenders that are normally missing from the scoreline.

Goalkeeper Statistics

• Saves made during the match.
• Goals conceded and clean-sheet records.
• Goalkeeper highlight clips from important stops.
• A clearer record of one of the most under-tracked roles in amateur football.

Physical Data and Match Media

• Distance and sprint information where supported by the available footage.
• Goal, assist, save and standout-moment clips.
• Match highlights created from the same video used for analysis.
• Shareable moments for team chats and social platforms.

How the Football Statistics App Works

• Record the match on a phone from a stable angle that keeps as much of the playing area visible as possible.
• Upload the video to Pitchside after the final whistle instead of logging events while the game is happening.
• Allow the platform to process the footage and identify supported match events.
• Review the player statistics and available highlight clips returned from the recording.
• Use the results to compare performances, share moments and build a clearer record of your football.

A steady recording with an unobstructed view gives any footage-based analysis system better information to work with. Pitchside is designed around normal phone video rather than requiring a permanently installed camera, but recording quality, angle, lighting and visibility can affect what the system can identify.

Who Is the Football Player Stats App For?

Grassroots and Sunday League Players

Keep a record of goals, assists, defensive work and key moments across the matches that normally disappear after the final whistle. The platform is designed for players without access to a club analyst or expensive camera system.

5-A-Side, 6-A-Side, 7-A-Side and Futsal Players

Small-sided matches are fast, high scoring and full of repeated attacking and defensive events. A football player stats app can give those contributions a record instead of reducing the entire game to the final result. Supported formats remain subject to private-beta testing.

Coaches, Managers and Team Organisers

Review player contributions without making a substitute, parent or coach responsible for manually entering every event. Match video also makes it easier to return to an important moment instead of relying only on memory.

Goalkeepers

Goals and assists are usually remembered. Saves often are not. Pitchside is being built to give goalkeepers a stronger performance record, including saves, clean sheets and clips of important moments where supported.

Football Stats for the Formats You Play

Build a Record Beyond One Match

A useful football statistics app should do more than display one scorecard. The long-term value comes from connecting performances across several matches so players can see patterns, milestones and progression instead of judging themselves from a single game.

• Track match appearances and results over time.
• Build totals for goals, assists, saves and other supported statistics.
• Compare recent performances with earlier matches.
• Recognise contributions from defenders and goalkeepers as well as scorers.
• Keep clips connected to the matches and moments that produced the numbers.

Player Stats and Football Highlights From the Same Match

A number tells you that a player scored. The footage shows the run, pass, finish and reaction. Pitchside is being built as both a stats and highlights platform so the same phone recording can produce useful numbers and preserve the moments behind them.

• Review the footage connected to goals and other key events.
• Create short clips from important match moments where supported.
• Share performances in the group chat without searching through the full recording.
• Keep evidence of goals, assists, saves and standout plays.
• Use one match upload instead of separate stat-recording and video-editing processes.

Track Football Stats Without a GPS Vest

GPS wearables are mainly designed to measure physical movement such as distance, speed and workload. They do not automatically explain every goal, assist, tackle or save. Pitchside takes a footage-first approach, with no wearable assigned to every player and no fixed camera required for the intended workflow.

This makes the product direction more suitable for informal and grassroots teams that already have access to a phone but do not want to buy, charge and distribute multiple devices before each match.

Football Stats App vs Football Analysis App

The terms overlap, but the intent is different. A football stats app focuses on the measurable record: goals, assists, shots, passes, tackles, interceptions, saves and player totals. A football analysis app has a broader job, using footage and data to help users review what happened and understand performance.

Pitchside is being built to connect both jobs. This page focuses on the statistics product experience, while the football analysis app page explains the wider match-review and video-analysis use case.

Use the Free Football Stats Tracker Today

The automatic Pitchside experience is still in private beta, but the free 5-a-side football stats tracker is available now. Use it to record goals, assists, saves, tackles, dribbles, shots and ratings manually, calculate match leaders and create a recap that can be copied into your team chat.

It works as a practical bridge between the current manual workflow and the footage-based experience Pitchside is developing: track manually now, automate later with Pitchside.

What to Look for in a Football Stats App

• A workflow your team will realistically use every week.
• Statistics that reflect attacking, defensive and goalkeeping contributions.
• A clear distinction between manually entered data and footage-based analysis.
• Support for the match format you actually play.
• Player and season records rather than isolated one-match numbers.
• Useful video context or clips alongside the statistics.
• Honest information about product availability, accuracy and beta limitations.
• Simple sharing for players, coaches and team group chats.

Why Pitchside Is Building a Football Stats App

Grassroots football creates thousands of goals, saves, tackles and unforgettable moments every week, but most are never recorded in a useful way. Players either rely on memory, use a spreadsheet or ask someone to spend the match entering events into an app.

Pitchside is being built around the idea that one match recording should do more. It should help create a statistical record, preserve the best moments and give weekly players something useful to review and share.
