About us

Tactics for
everyone.

SportGala is a free online football tactics board. We built it so that anyone who loves the game, from grassroots coaches to armchair analysts, can plan, explain and share ideas without barriers.

Our mission

Make great tactics easy to explain

Every coach knows the moment: a clear idea in your head, and a whiteboard, a crumpled notepad or a phone screen that just won't cooperate. SportGala exists to close that gap.

We want drawing a pressing trap, a build-up pattern or a set piece to be as quick as talking about it, and just as easy to share with your players afterwards.

A board that is free, fast and yours.

No sign-up walls, no watermarked exports, no ads. Just open it and start coaching.

From the touchline to the screen.

Designed around real session planning, match analysis and half-time talks.

Why we built it

Born from match-day frustration

Most tactics tools are either too simple to be useful or too complicated to use on a busy touchline. We wanted something in between: a board you can open on any device and use straight away.

So SportGala combines pass networks, match reports, HD exports and offline saves, while staying light enough to load in a moment on the phone in your pocket.
