SOCCER POOL APP FOR FRIENDS
Golazo is a free soccer pool app for running Survivor and Pick'em pools across five top leagues — Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and Primeira Liga — with your friends, office, or group chat. No spreadsheets, no chasing payments.
THE POOL APP YOUR GROUP CHAT ACTUALLY NEEDS
Every group has that one person running the football pool off a spreadsheet — copying picks out of a WhatsApp thread on a Friday night, typing in scores on a Monday morning, and DMing four people who still haven't paid. Golazo replaces all of it. Create a pool for the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, or Primeira Liga, share one code, and your whole group plays a proper season-long game from their phones.
It's built for private groups — a friend group, an office league, a supporters' club, a family thread. Nobody joins a giant public pool of strangers; you invite exactly the people you want, and the pool lives in your chat. Golazo does the boring parts: it locks picks at kickoff, scores the real matches automatically, reminds people before deadlines, and keeps a visible ledger of who's paid.
No app-store download, no per-person subscription. It runs in any browser on any phone — add it to your home screen and it feels native — and it speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese so the whole group plays in their own language.
Two Ways to Play
Survivor (Last Man Standing)
One pick a week. Back a team in your league to win — win and you live, lose or draw and you're out. Each club only once, last one standing takes the pot. Slow-burn tension across the whole season. Available for all five leagues.
Explore SurvivorPick'em
Five picks a week. Call five of the matchday's fixtures — home, draw, or away. Sweep all five and take the pot; nobody sweeps and it rolls over, bigger next week. Nobody ever gets eliminated. Available for all five leagues.
Explore Pick'emFive Leagues to Choose From
Run Survivor or Pick'em for any of the top five European leagues. The Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A each field 20 clubs over 38 matchdays; Ligue 1 and Primeira Liga each field 18 clubs over 34 matchdays. Pick your league and play the full season.
Beats a Spreadsheet and a Group Chat
A football pool run by hand is a part-time job for one person and a source of arguments for everyone else. Golazo automates the four things that actually eat the commissioner's time.
Auto-Scoring
Results sync from the real matches in every league. Survivals, eliminations, sweeps, and rollovers are scored within minutes of full time — no Monday-morning data entry, no arguments about what a text said.
Hard Deadlines
Picks lock automatically at each matchday's first kickoff. After lock, everyone's picks are revealed at once, so nobody copies and nobody sneaks a late change.
Automatic Reminders
A day-before nudge and a last-call reminder go out before every deadline by email and push. Nobody gets knocked out — or misses a week — because they forgot.
Payment Tracking
See who's paid at a glance and nudge who hasn't. Golazo never holds the money — the commissioner collects via Venmo, PayPal, Pix, or cash, and Golazo keeps the ledger visible.
| Spreadsheet + WhatsApp | Golazo | |
|---|---|---|
| Collecting picks | Screenshot the group chat, retype by hand | Everyone picks in-app; auto-locked at kickoff |
| Scoring | Type in results Monday morning | Auto-scored from real matches |
| Deadlines | Hope people remember | Email + push reminders, hard lock |
| Who's paid | A second spreadsheet tab, chased by DM | Visible payment tracker + one-click nudge |
| Disputes | "I sent my pick at 2:59!" | Timestamped, locked, revealed to all |

Friends & Group Chats
Turn the weekly football chat into a real competition. One invite link and the whole thread is in.
Offices & Teams
The classic office pool, minus the admin. Great for a team that wants something on every weekend of the season.
Clubs & Communities
Supporters' clubs, five-a-side sides, schools, pubs — any group that wants a season-long game with a pot.
Pay As You Grow
The pricing is simple and there's no catch: small groups play for free, and larger pools pay only for the members above the free tier.
It grows only as your pool grows — if new people join later, only those members are added, never a re-charge for anyone already in. In multi-entry pools, each entry counts as one member. Entry fees for the prize pot are entirely separate and stay within the group: Golazo never holds the pot. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
