The Opportunity

Problem

Zambian provincial football clubs face immediate expulsion, relegation to district level, and penalty fees for failing to fulfill league fixtures

Solution

ProofPitch lets club administrators capture timestamped, GPS-verified photos and videos of team sheets, match officials, pitch conditions and results. All evidence is securely stored with cryptographic timestamps, making it impossible for leagues to dispute fulfillment and protecting clubs from wrongful penalties.

Target Audience

Owners and administrators of lower-division (Division One/provincial) football clubs in Zambia

Differentiator

Court-admissible digital evidence vault purpose-built for Zambian football governance with one-tap league submission and appeal packages.
