FootDraw vs WhatsApp

Most pickup groups start in WhatsApp and stay there. FootDraw isn't a chat replacement — it's the missing tool that turns your WhatsApp roster into balanced teams, tracks stats, and lets you share a clean MVP card back to the chat.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to leave my WhatsApp group?

No. Most teams keep WhatsApp for chat and just share FootDraw match links into it. The two work together.

Is FootDraw really free?

Yes. Unlimited players, matches, stadiums, and stats — no paid tier.

How long does setup take?

About two minutes. Create a team, add players (or send an invite link), and you can draw your first match.
