COMET is the most powerful and most widely adopted football management system in the World. It is today productively used on all 6 continents, and is adopted by more football associations than any other comparable system. Furthermore, it is the only such system that supports and seamlessly integrates operations at both continental (Confederation) and country (National Association) levels.
The power of COMET stems from its blend of experience and reliability on one side, and continuous innovation and technological advances on the other side. In 2022, the Fifth Generation of COMET (v5.0) was released, featuring outstanding user experience, complying with the highest standards of the software industry, and reinforcing COMET’s technological leadership on the market.
Mobile Apps
Our COMET Football Native Mobile Apps for Android and iOS devices allow users to easily enter lineups and match events live on the matchday using their smartphones.
In fact, all standard matchday operations can be fully executed on the pitch using mobile apps, and without the need for a laptop.
Users of our Mobile Apps are notified of any relevant changes with push notifications. E.g. when referees are appointed to a match, they will immediately receive a push notification to their smartphone (in addition to an e-mail notification).
Registration
The registration process is a prerequisite for competitions, and relates to all football stakeholders, such as players, coaches, referees, and relevant organizations, such as clubs.
Its most common functions are registrations of players, national and international transfer workflows, administration of clubs and facilities data.
Competition
Competition management consists of the initial setup and recurring administration of competitions of all levels, from children’s tournaments to major continental cups.
Its most common features are team/roster submissions, scheduling of matches, allocation of referees and other officials to matches.
Matchday
Matchday operations relate to all activities that are carried out before, during, and after the match by the respective stakeholders, such as clubs, referees and officials.
Most common matchday functions are entry of lineups by the clubs, entry of match events, and match report confirmation by the referee.
Discipline
The workflow of disciplinary cases and issuance of all types of sanctions, such as monetary sanctions and match forfeits, is tightly integrated with competition management.
It ensures compliance with competition regulations, prevents the participation of actively sanctioned players (or team officials), and automatically calculates served matches.
Core
This module contains the technical platform and generic functionalities, used to configure the behavior of all functional domains.
It maintains the important master data, lists, settings and administrative features supporting all other functions of the COMET system.
Configurability
COMET is highly robust, flexible and configurable, and operates seamlessly in various circumstances and configurations. While the same version of our system is deployed for our all clients, each installation can have very different configurations of process workflows, rules, authorizations, local settings, language packs, data fields, etc.
Therefore, the client can configure all elements of the system in accordance with its preferences, existing rules and regulations. This flexibility was the key driver for successful adoption of COMET in every corner of the World. The system is also fully multilingual and already translated to nearly 30 languages.
