Players, parents and managers can make and manage match fee payments with the FA Matchday app and PayPal for season 2020/21 - and now there’s the chance to win England prizes for grassroots teams just by organising match admin in a few simple steps.

Matchday, the official FA grassroots mobile administration app, is available on iOS (Apple) and Android smart phones. It boots out the boring admin of managing a grassroots team in the affiliated game and has functionality which can’t be found elsewhere:

Keep Organised: Easily manage your matchday admin. Coaches can organise fixtures, submit match returns and keep on top of squad selections. As a player, make yourself available and keep track of when you’re picked. Full control of the details, all in one place.

Go Cashless: There’s no more need for cash. With PayPal, you can set-up monthly or annual payments or decide to pay as you play. The choice is yours and it’s quick and easy to do in a few simple steps.

Get Rewarded: By registering with Matchday, your grassroots club could benefit from exclusive England football prizes. These include chances to win a prize to watch England and the Lionesses train, receive Wembley tickets or take part in a professional training masterclass.

New Season Prizes: If you’re ‘Matchday ready’ you’re eligible for an opportunity to win one of the amazing England prizes. Entry is simple - just download the app and log-in for the first time before 30th September 2020.

There’s no need to enter fixtures, as these are automatically added from The FA’s Full-Time service (if your league uses Full-Time). There’s no need to enter your squad details - these are automatically added from The FA’s Whole Game System. There’s no need to check suspensions - the app will show you who’s eligible to play.

There’s also no need to use Full-Time to enter your match returns or results - submit them via the app at the tap of a button (again, if your league uses Full-Time). Not sure if you’re Matchday ready? If you answer yes to each of these questions, then you’re all set:

* Does your league register their players in the FA Whole Game System?
* Does your team have a manager or coach assigned to them in the Whole Game System?
* Do The FA have an E-Mail address for you already?
