New for football academies

FP+ is now part of the DJC ecosystem with a FREE 6-month FP+ trial.

A separate academy operating system

FP+ is not the tournament website itself. It is a separate football-academy platform built for coach workflow, player tracking, communication, and day-to-day academy structure.

Why DJC is introducing it

We want serious football academies around DJC to have access to stronger systems off the pitch, not just good competition on it.

What academies can do next

Review the brochure, explore the live demo, and see the FP+ trial and pricing details before deciding whether it fits your football environment.
