FixtureHub

How we can help

FixtureHub is available to sports federations, governing bodies and club associations to adopt for the benefit of their member teams. The tool has a number of intuitive features that give teams maximum flexibility when arranging their matchups.

Instead of the traditional approach of using existing contacts at other teams or paying a match agent, those who arrange fixtures for a team can have easy access to a wide range of potential opponents via the FixtureHub service.

The FixtureHub concept, developed by ECA and LCP, culminated in the launch of the innovative ECA Fixture Hub.

The tool enables users to:

• Search for opponents with availability using selected criteria – for example, range of dates, strength, desire to play home/away and willingness to travel up to a certain distance
• Propose fixtures to preferred opponents
• Chat to potential opponents via the platform
• Auto-complete documents required by, for example, regional federations and governing bodies
• Access the platform via mobile or desktop
• Organise tournaments, which can be visible to either all users or only those receiving an invite

FixtureHub is not intended to be an off-the-shelf solution – a project with us will lead to development of a bespoke platform for your organisation and teams. A key part of the initial development process therefore involves us working with you to understand the specific needs of users and your organisation.

An organisation may want certain information from their tool so they can understand how users are operating. This can be done via the FixtureHub tool’s administration portal. The administration portal allows an organisation to, for example, monitor usage, add or remove teams, and identify trends in how the platform is being used.

We have designed FixtureHub to be simple to use, with easy navigation between tasks and an attractive, clear user interface and user experience. It will be especially powerful for organisations that use any kind of relative strength rating between teams, such as ELO rankings, but the platform can be effectively used without this functionality.
