Artificial Intelligence meets Passion
As a founding team, we bring over 40 years of combined coaching experience in amateur football and know the challenges faced by volunteer coaches. With the help of modern technology, we aim to tackle these problems.
And we believe it will only survive if we relieve the burden on coaches!
As coaches, active players, and youth coordinators, we know the problem firsthand: too little time, too many tasks, too little support.
And yet, you still want to deliver good training. That's exactly where we.train.football comes in. With our app, we want to revolutionize the coaching role and strengthen youth and amateur football.
Many clubs are facing a shortage of coaches - and the trend is growing. Those who get involved are often alone, overwhelmed, and without support. Balancing work, family, and volunteering becomes a major challenge.
In the end, it's the children and young people who suffer. Quality decreases, clubs struggle to survive, and joint teams become the last resort.
Coaching has become a burden in many places - we want to change that.
The revolution of the coaching role.
What used to take hours, now takes seconds. we.train.football is the first AI-based training platform for football coaches. With just one click, you get complete training sessions - tailored to age, skill level, and available players.
Whether you're reacting spontaneously or planning long-term: quality, structure, and flexibility are guaranteed. No coaching license needed. Even with limited time.
Whether you've been on the sidelines for years or are considering taking over a team - we.train.football is made for you. Our app is designed for coaches in the amateur and youth sectors, for committed parents, and for true club people.
For everyone who loves football - but struggles to find time between work, family, and everyday life. For everyone who knows how important good training is - but is often left to manage alone. For everyone who sees volunteering not as a burden, but as an opportunity to make a difference.
We believe: with the right tools, coaching can be amazing.

Coaches, youth leaders, active players. Together we bring over 40 years of coaching experience in amateur and youth football - from youth teams to adults, from village clubs to development programs. We know what it's like to plan sessions after work or deal with last-minute player absences due to a headache. What it's like to be on the pitch with seven kids and a plan for twelve. That's exactly why we developed we.train.football: a solution by coaches, for coaches.
Our journey began in 2022 under the name MatchPlaner - supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs through the EXIST start-up grant. With the beta version of MatchPlaner, we reached over 1,000 users just weeks after launch, won awards, and kept developing. In 2024, the idea became a professional company - complete with office space, new team members, and a growing community.
The turn of the year 2025 marks the beginning of something big: With Thomas Röttgermann, we gain support from the professional football world, MatchPlaner becomes we.train.football, KICKER reports on us, and we gain national recognition.
The movement has started - and you're part of it!
Our app makes planning easier - and turns training into an experience.
So you can get back to coaching instead of spending hours searching for content, only to scrap it last minute due to cancellations. Click together your training plan in seconds.
That leaves more room for what really matters in coaching: sparking enthusiasm, supporting development, experiencing football. And: your players benefit directly - through efficient sessions, thoughtful content, and more personal attention.
With we.train.football, we want to ensure that even volunteer work is sustainable - with smart technology, meaningful tools, and real impact for youth development. We believe in the grassroots of football - and in the people who make it possible week after week.
Our vision is a strong, modern amateur football culture where professional training is not a luxury, but the standard.
The grassroots level is where all development begins.
Football is a team sport - even off the pitch.
That's why we believe in the value of community, exchange, and mutual support. We listen, we improve, we grow together. Your feedback and user experience are our most important foundation. The 'we' in our name is no coincidence - it's our mindset. Together we get better! We're always happy to hear your feedback.
