Teams and seasons
Set up the club's teams and seasons, the first team, the current season and the team and season picker.
Players, squad depth and deals are organized per team, and contracts, depth charts and decisions per season. Teams and seasons are set up under Settings, and the picker in the top bar decides which team and season the app shows.
Every member can view both settings pages; only the Football Director can change them.
Teams
Open Settings → Teams. Each team is a squad within the club, such as the first team, a reserve side or an academy squad.
Add a team
Enter a name and code
At the bottom of the list, fill in Team name and a short Code of up to 12 characters, for example "Under 21" and "U21".
Add
Click Add team. The team is added at the bottom of the list.
Use the pencil button to rename a team or change its code, and the bin button to delete it.
The first team
The team at the top of the list is the club's first team. It is selected by default in the team and season picker, and screens that compare against the first team, such as Club Overview and Squad Depth, use it. New teams are added below the existing ones.
Step up
Under each team, Step up into links it to the team it feeds, for example an academy squad that steps up into the first team. Setting a step up adds a promote option to players in that team. Choose No step up to remove the link.
Hudl StatsBomb team
Under each team, Hudl StatsBomb team links the team to its team in Hudl StatsBomb, so the squad and match data can be brought in. Teams whose name contains the club name are listed first. Nothing is linked automatically, because a men's and a women's team often share the club name.
The list only has options once Hudl StatsBomb is connected and the seasons in the club's license have been loaded. Linking a team starts a check straight away, and a notification follows when the squad is ready to bring in. See Integrations.
Seasons
Open Settings → Seasons. Seasons run from one year into the next and are named like 2026/27.
Add a season
The buttons below the list add the season after the latest one and the season before the earliest one, for example Add 2027/28 and Add 2023/24. Adding an earlier season is useful for bringing in data from past seasons.
The current season
One season is marked Current: the season the club is working in. Click Make current next to another season to change it. The current season is the default in the picker for every team that plays in it.
Seasons per team
With more than one team, each season shows the codes of the club's teams. Click a code to say whether that team plays in that season; a team that plays has a solid label, a team that does not has a dashed one. This decides which seasons the picker offers for each team. A team without any seasons set falls back to all of the club's seasons.
Use the bin button to delete a season.
The team and season picker
The picker on the left of the top bar shows the selected team and season. Click it to choose.
- Team on the left lists the teams in the order of Settings → Teams, with their codes.
- Season on the right lists the seasons of the selected team, newest first, with the club's current season marked Current.
When the app opens, it selects the first team and its current season. Choosing another team switches straight away: Agones keeps the same season if the new team plays in it, and otherwise moves to that team's current season. For a team that does not play in the club's current season, that is the latest season that has started. Choosing a season applies it and closes the picker.
The picker changes what the screens show, not any data. Each member chooses independently.
