New Zealand Football is shifting from COMET to Sporty.co.nz for the national registration system https://www.myfootball.co.nz/newsarticle/147164?newsfeedId=1366825



Official provider for NZ Football

Making football club management easy​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​


​​​​​​​

What's changing?

All football clubs must use Sporty instead of COMET

​​​​​​​From 1 January 2026, all football clubs must use Sporty instead of COMET to:

  • Manage your official NZF database of players, coaches, officials and other club personnel
  • Red flag un-financial players
  • Terminate player contracts
  • Set-up your club kit
  • Set your club logo for display in Federation fixtures
  • Enter teams into competitions
  • Add players to a catalogue/squad

In addition, clubs will use Sporty for new functionality, such as to:

  • Use the Sporty live scoring app to set your game-day team line-ups
  • Enter game results
  • View the live match centre

Clubs are encouraged to upgrade player registrations to Sporty

MyComet is being retired from the end of 2025. Clubs using the free MyComet self-registration system are encouraged to upgrade to the free Sporty self-registration solution. This is available for all football clubs now.

Clubs that are already using Sporty do not need to make any changes. Players and parents will continue to self-register through Sporty as usual.

If your club is using MyComet or another member management system, it's easy to shift to Sporty. Sporty can automatically import and display your latest database of members registered with New Zealand Football.
