NZF Football Club's impending change back to Sporty from Friendly Manager.
Fundamentally with NZF removing the back end platform Comet, then Sporty takes ownership of this. This transition will happen in November 2025.
A sneak peek at what’s next for Friendly Manager.
The countdown to the end of season is on! As is the end of the COMET era, with the new NZ Football National Registration System replacing COMET from the 2026 season onwards. NZ Football has confirmed that clubs using Friendly Manager will keep the same, familiar registration process. With a new API provided directly to us, player registrations will seamlessly connect with the national system. That means the upcoming NZ Football registration changes should have no impact on how your club currently operates.
