Data Migration from COMET

NZ Football used the COMET registration system from 2018 - 2025 inclusive. The following data has now been migrated automatically for your club from COMET to Sporty:

  • Historic registration records
  • Competition data (fixtures & results)
  • Player Appearances data
  • Disciplinary history

Unable to find the answer?  Follow these steps:

  1. Check the Sporty knowledge base at https://support.sportsground.com.
  2. Ask SportyAI – either visit www.sporty.co.nz/ai or click the ‘?’ question mark help button at the bottom right of your screen when logged in to Sporty.
  3. Ask your Federation contact. Your Federation can also guide you on issues/questions that relate to policy rather than the platform.

​​​​​​​If you've followed the steps above and are still unable to resolve the issue, email Sporty Helpdesk at support@sportsground.com. You'll automatically receive a Support Ticket Number and should get a human response within 2 business days

IMPORTANT: If your club subscribes to a Sporty VIP plan, you can phone the Sporty Helpdesk during business hours on 0800 777 876.  You will need to have your PIN handy.  If you subscribe to a VIP service and don't know your PIN, please email support@sportsground.com to request it.
