About PelotaWatch

What is PelotaWatch?

PelotaWatch is a community-driven platform for football fans to track and log the matches they watch. Think of it as a "match watching diary" where you can document your football viewing journey and share your passion with fans from around the world!

Every match you log is tracked and becomes part of your personal football story - whether you're at the stadium, watching from home, or catching the game at a pub. Add photos to capture the moment, track where you watched from, and over time, discover patterns and insights about yourself and the global community of fans.

How It Works

PelotaWatch is designed to be simple and accessible. Here's how you can track your football watching journey:

Log Your Matches

Log the matches you're watching on PelotaWatch. Choose between Club Football (domestic leagues or international competitions like Champions League) or National Teams (World Cup, Euros, etc.), then select the match details. Matches are available shortly before kickoff and remain open for logging afterward.

Add Your Touch

Include the country you watched from, and optionally add a photo (stadium selfie, TV screenshot, etc.) or caption to capture the moment. Be as creative as you want!

Build Your History

Over time, your entries create a unique football diary. Track your most-watched teams, favorite competitions, and where you've watched from around the world. Each match adds to your personal story as a fan.

A Few Guidelines

Each match can only be logged once per user to keep your diary authentic
There's a daily limit on entries to keep things fair - plenty of room for busy football weekends!

Your Stats & Insights

As you log matches, PelotaWatch helps you unlock patterns and discover insights about yourself and the community over time. Throughout the app, you'll see various stats that tell your story as a fan:

Matches Watched

The total number of matches you've logged. This forms the foundation of your football diary.

Top Team

The team that appears most frequently in your match logs. Discover which club you watch the most!

Top Competition

Your most-watched league or competition. Are you a Premier League fanatic or a Champions League devotee?

Watch Countries

Track all the countries you've watched matches from. Perfect for globetrotting football fans!

About the Leaderboard

You'll also see a global leaderboard showing how you rank among other fans worldwide based on total matches logged. It's not about competition - it's just a fun way to connect with the community and see how your passion for football compares with fans around the globe. Whether you're watching one match a week or dozens, every fan has a unique story to tell!

Always Evolving

PelotaWatch is constantly growing! New patterns and insights will be added over time as the community expands and we discover more interesting ways to visualize your football journey.

Founder's Story

PelotaWatch is a passion project born from my deep love for football (or soccer, depending on where you're from).

I lived a dream of working in elite football when I joined Everton FC in the Premier League and moved my entire life to Liverpool. I thought I had reached the pinnacle: walking into a Premier League academy every day, holding the door for people like Jack Grealish or David Moyes, having lunch and talking with the players, attending every Premier League home match and so much more...

But life has its own way of doing things, and eventually, I had to leave the Premier League to return to my home country and family. However, the experiences I had and the things I witnessed will never be forgotten.

That said, I also saw a lot of what happens behind the scenes. Some things went completely against my values and the reasons I fell in love with the sport in the first place (but that is a story for another day).

I took a break from the industry, but my passion for the game never faded. That's why this little project, PelotaWatch, popped into my mind.

After thinking about what I could build with my expertise, I realized that what I've loved most since I was a kid is simply watching a good match and talking about it with others. It doesn't matter the team, the league, the money involved, or the popularity.

I spend hours watching football just as a fan, and I am sure many of you do, too. So, I created an app that allows fans to track the matches they watch in a simple, fun way. You can share them with fellow fans, helping us build a community while you create your own "football fan journal."

It's totally free because I want everyone to join in and enjoy the insights that come from it. Without users, this would just be my personal tracker, and that's not the goal.

PelotaWatch is made for all types of fans—from those who watch thousands of matches a year to those who only catch a game once in a while. Over time, as your stats pile up, the app will create a beautiful history and provide unique insights into your lifetime as a football fan.

I will do my best to keep improving the app and to implement the feedback you share with me.
