The 5-a-side app your mates will obsess over.
Make your kickabout something they talk about all week.
Capo is the casual football app that turns your weekly game into a proper experience — fantasy-style stats and profiles for the players, no-stress admin for the organiser, and AI-balanced teams every time.
Free forever for organisers.
Players only pay a small per-match fee if you use in-app payments.
For Players
Your football story, told properly.
Capo turns your casual five-a-side into something everyone actually cares about — stats, streaks, match reports and AI-written profiles that make every game part of a bigger story.
AI-written player profiles
Capo watches your games, goals, wins, losses, streaks and form, and turns them into a living player bio. It updates every week. It remembers everything. It becomes the story of your kickabout career.
Streaks & form badges for banter
Attendance runs, scoring streaks, unbeaten patches, grim winless droughts — Capo tracks it all and shows your current "heat" with simple badges. Everyone knows who's flying and who's gone missing.
Fantasy-style scoring – but it's actually you
Every match feeds your season points: appearances, goals, wins, clean sheets, big results. Leaderboards shift every week. Suddenly, everyone checks where they stand.
Graphs & charts that show your rise (or wobble)
Clean visuals of your minutes, goals and points-per-game over time. You can literally see your form curve — and everyone else's.
Legends, records & lore
Biggest nights, longest streaks, wildest defeats, weird milestones — all logged. Your group stops being "just a chat" and starts to feel like it has history.
For Organisers
Your game, sorted — without losing the vibe.
Capo takes the admin you've quietly carried for years — chasing replies, juggling dropouts, collecting money — and wraps it into one clean flow. You still run the group. Capo just takes the stress away.
One-tap RSVPs
Players tap IN or OUT. You see your numbers instantly — no scrolling, no guessing, no "who's actually coming tonight?".
Automatic waitlist
If someone drops out, Capo fills the spot from your waiting list. You don't even open the chat.
Tiered invites for your A/B/C list
Your core players get the first invite. If spaces remain, it opens to the wider group. Regulars feel valued. Games fill faster.
Payments handled upfront
Players pay when they RSVP. You receive automatic payouts every match. No awkward chasing, no IOUs, no fronting pitch money.
Fair teams. Better games. Zero effort.
Team selection that takes seconds — not arguments.
Capo automatically builds balanced teams using everyone's recent performances. No spreadsheets. No long chats. It just works — and it feels fair.
Balanced automatically
Players' form and performances feed into a simple balancing engine that gives you fair sides out of the box.
Better football for everyone
Close, competitive games are more fun — and they keep people coming back.
Tweak when you want
Move players between teams or nudge things manually if you fancy it. Capo stays simple by default, powerful if you need it.
Friendly transparency
See a light "balance at a glance" score. No nerdy breakdowns. No need to justify anything. Just confidence that the game feels right.
Built for Real 5-a-side Life
Built for the chaos around the game.
Capo isn't just a pretty stats app. It's built for all the messy stuff around a match — the WhatsApp noise, the last-minute guests, the final score, the post-game chat.
Match Control Centre
One pitch-side screen with everything: the player pool, the teams, the score entry and the finish button. Just enter who scored and mark the game as done — Capo updates:
- Tables
- Streaks
- Points
- Records
- Chemistry
- Performance graphs
- Every player's AI profile
- The match report
Your post-game admin fits inside a single tap.

Built by the guys who actually run a kickabout.
We ran the same nine-a-side for eight years. First with a simple spreadsheet. Then it developed into a beast - full of graphs, macros and little hacks to track streaks and in-form players.
In 2025, we finally admitted it needed a proper home — so we taught ourselves to code and turned it into an app.
Capo is built from that spreadsheet: every feature battle-tested in real games, every tweak born from real "this is actually annoying" moments. We're building the app we wish we'd had from day one — and we'll keep adding features as long as we're still playing.
