Keeping up with the football season in Tasmania has never been easier, thanks to the introduction of a new competition management system in 2023.
Football Tasmania is proud to announce its transition to DRIBL, an integrated competition management system for all clubs and associations.
DRIBL is currently the preferred competition management system across a number of Member Federations and Associations in Australia. Football NSW and Capital Football both transitioned to DRIBL for the 2022 season, with more than 300,000 participants currently using it to administer all aspects of their competitions. South Australia has also announced its move to DRIBL this year.
Football Tasmania Acting CEO David Smith said: “DRIBL is a proven competition management system designed for football. We know it will make it easier for clubs to administer the season, and for participants and fans to follow the season by viewing matches, standings, statistics and results.
“We are always looking for ways to improve the management of our competitions, and we look forward to a successful partnership with DRIBL.”
DRIBL’s CEO Rob Georgievski said: "Our partnership with Football Tasmania gives us the opportunity to provide our unrivalled football management solutions to all participants of our game throughout the state of Tasmania.
“Our centralised, innovative platform continues to trailblaze football across all levels, delivering efficiencies, integration and comprehensive digital solutions to the football community.
“We are proud to continue our vision of connecting grassroots football across the country."
Training has been rolled out to all clubs across the State, and Football Tasmania will share handy “how to” information between now and the start of the season in March for all football fans.
