The software that really speaks Swiss football.
Paak already manages your members, payments (CHF + TWINT) and teams. For SFV football it goes further, and stays complementary to clubcorner.ch, never a substitute.
- Letter-based categories A-G instead of U-XX, and the D-7 format unique to Switzerland

clubcorner.ch + Paak: complementary, not competing.
The SFV runs the most comprehensive federation IT system we found in our Swiss research: clubcorner.ch has been mandatory since 2019 for all qualification and transfer procedures, and for the digital player card since 2024/25. You keep it. Paak does not try to replace it. We cover what clubcorner.ch leaves open.
Stays in clubcorner.ch
Player qualification, transfers, loans and dual licences, the digital player card, the electronic match sheet, championship entry, referee management and referee reports. The official SFV tool: you keep it as is.
Stays in the digital player card
Team compositions locked 45 min before kick-off (amateur) or 60 min (SFL / elite), 18 names maximum (11+7), captain and responsible coach designated. Fully deployed since 2024/25. Paak does not interfere.
What Paak adds
Multi-sport (a football-plus-other-sections club on one platform), Mollie payments (CHF + TWINT) for dues, tournaments, camps, courses, equipment and sponsors, individual performance, parent communications, club accounting, volunteers, training planning.
No automatic connection with clubcorner.ch
Paak audit 2026: no automatic connection, no documented export, a closed proprietary system. The bridge today is CSV import for the initial migration; a native connector is on the integration roadmap.
FIFA rules, plus four Swiss specifics most software ignores.
FIFA / UEFA rules apply unchanged: 11v11, 2×45 min, offside, yellow and red cards. But the SFV adds four particularities that most "multi-sport" tools simply miss.
Letter-based categories A-G
Instead of the FIFA / UEFA U-XX system, the SFV uses letters: G, F and E for children's football, then D-7, D-9, C, B and A. The birth years of each category change every season and overlap: a birth year does not point to a single category. The new structure was adopted nationwide from 2025/26. Built into Paak, no manual setup.
D-7: 7v7, CH-only
A format unique to Switzerland: the D-7 category plays 7v7, bridging E (3v3 or 6v6) and D-9 (9v9). There is no FFF equivalent in France. Built into Paak, not a manual configuration.
Digital player card
Since 2024/25, no more paper: created on clubcorner.ch via smartphone with photo and identity document. Compositions lock 45 min (amateur) or 60 min (SFL) before kick-off. Paak does not replace it: the club keeps clubcorner.ch for the official line-up.
No federation medical certificate
A major difference from France, where the FFF requires an annual medical certificate or self-health questionnaire. The SFV requires no medical certificate at grassroots level, and Paak respects that. An individual club may still require one locally.
The letter-based ladder, D-7 included.
Source: SFV "Neue Kategorien Jugendfussball", verified 2026-05-07, and "Ausführungsbestimmungen Kinder- und Jugendfussball" 2026/27 for the formats. The new structure was decided on 1 December 2023, nationwide from 2025/26, with early adoption in 2024/25 by AFV, FVBJ, FVNWS, FVRZ and SOFV. Birth years are republished every season and overlap, so they are not in this table.
| Category | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A | 11v11 | Top amateur / senior junior |
| B | 11v11 | None |
| C | 11v11 | None |
| D-9 | 9v9 | Formerly just "D" |
| D-7 | 7v7 | New: bridges E and D-9 (CH-only) |
| E | 3v3 (small pitch) or 6v6 (large pitch) | Children's football |
| F | 3v3 (small pitch) or 4v4 (large pitch) | Children's football |
| G | 2v2 or 3v3 | Children's football, no SFV qualification required |

SFV licences, tracked the Swiss way.

- No federation medical certificate: not required at SFV level. A club can still require one locally, and Paak lets it be added as a club qualification.
- J+S (Jugend+Sport) qualifications: the Swiss federal framework for youth-coach training, recognised by the BASPO. Tracked on the Paak profile with a validity date.
- SFV refereeing qualifications: regional and national. Club availability is tracked in Paak; official delegation stays in clubcorner.ch.
- Dues in CHF: differentiated rates per category, family discounts. Mollie + TWINT.

Youth protection · Sonderprivatauszug
Sonderprivatauszug recommended for SFV / ASF coaches.
Switzerland has no direct equivalent of the French law of 8 March 2024, but Swiss Olympic, of which the SFV / ASF (Schweizerischer Fussballverband / Swiss Football Association) is a member, recommends the Sonderprivatauszug (special criminal-records extract) for anyone supervising minors on a regular basis, under its joint programme with the FOSPO "No sexual abuse in sport".
Paak tracks the date each coach obtained their Sonderprivatauszug, with an automatic reminder 30 days before renewal (every 3 years by default, expiry date editable per coach). CSV export of the coach list from Paak One (French SI Honorabilité format). nLPD-compatible approach: data in the EU, on Switzerland's adequacy list.
Attendance at training, even offline.
The Paak app for your coaches and club officers: offline attendance, a reminder before each session, the live match with Paak Pro. Included in every plan.
Your members get their own space, no account, no password.
A personal secure link in every club email: schedule and call-ups, dues payable online (“Pay everything” in one payment), medical certificate upload, progression, volunteering.

Frequently asked questions
Does Paak handle the SFV letter-based categories (A-G + D-7)?
Yes. The SFV uses letter-based categories (A, B, C, D-9, D-7, E, F, G) instead of the U-XX system. The D-7 format (7v7, between E and D-9) is unique to Switzerland. It is built into Paak, so Swiss clubs see the right categories without manual configuration.
Does Paak replace clubcorner.ch?
No. clubcorner.ch has been mandatory since 2019 for qualification, transfers and the digital player card. You keep it. Paak is complementary: multi-sport, club dues and payments (CHF + TWINT), parent communications, club accounting, sponsors, individual performance. It is not a clubcorner.ch substitute.
Can Paak connect to clubcorner.ch?
No, not to our knowledge (Paak audit 2026). It is a closed proprietary system: no automatic connection possible. The bridge today is CSV import; a native connector is on the integration roadmap.
Is a medical certificate required for Swiss football?
No, not at SFV federation level, unlike France. Paak respects this difference: a federation medical certificate is not required for Switzerland. A club can locally require one, and Paak then lets it be added as a club qualification.
How many clubs and licensed players are there in Swiss football?
SFV sources verified 2026-05-07: ~1,345 clubs / ~18,100 teams / ~369,000 licensed players / ~4,586 referees / ~12,000 matches per week. It is the #1 association sport in Switzerland. UEFA is headquartered in Nyon.
Do you provide coaching resources for our coaches?
Two things, and they are distinct. The Côté Coach football knowledge base is free and open: age groups and match formats compared across the ASF/SFV, the FFF and the URBSFA, building a session, technique, duels, goalkeeping, physical preparation, the Laws. Every page is sourced to published documents (IFAB, FIFA, UEFA, J+S/OFSPO). And inside the app, the session generator builds a minuted outline (warm-up, two main situations, a game, cool-down) from the age band, duration and theme you pick, drawing on a library of drills taken from published federation documents: exactly the same ones the guide shows. Planning, editing and saving the session is free; printing the session sheet and club-authored drills beyond 5 are available in Paak One.
