The software that really speaks Swiss football.
Paak already manages your members, payments (CHF + TWINT rolling out) 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
- 13 SFV regional associations — no federation medical certificate required
- nLPD-compatible hosting — the EU is on Switzerland's adequacy list
Free up to 100 members. CHF + TWINT rolling out · nLPD-compatible hosting.
Built for the ~1,345 SFV clubs and their volunteers.
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 outside the licence (CHF + TWINT rolling out) for dues, tournaments, camps, courses, equipment and sponsors, individual performance, parent communications, club accounting, volunteers, training planning.
No public clubcorner.ch API
Paak audit 2026: no public REST API, no documented webhook, no documented export — a closed proprietary system. The bridge today is CSV import for the initial migration. A technical partnership with the SFV for a native connector remains to be explored after the pilot.
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: A (18-20), B (16-17), C (14-15), D-9 (12-13), E (9-10), F (7-8), G (~6). The new structure was adopted nationwide from 2025/26. Built into Paak — no manual setup.
D-7 — 7v7 for 11-year-olds, CH-only
A format unique to Switzerland: 7v7 for 11-year-old children, bridging E (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.

| F | 5v5 | 7-8 | Children's football |

SFV licences, tracked the Swiss way.
- SFV player qualification — mandatory via clubcorner.ch since 2019, with photo and identity-document copy. Categories G and F (children) need no official SFV qualification; from 2022/23 formal licensing extended to all youth categories.
- 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 rolling out.

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 (cadence configurable per club; renewal every 5 years by default, in line with standard practice of Swiss sports associations — ZKS Zurich, Kanton Basel-Landschaft). One-click CSV export. nLPD-compatible approach — data in the EU, on Switzerland's adequacy list.

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 for 11-year-olds — 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, payments outside the licence (CHF + TWINT rolling out), parent communications, club accounting, sponsors, individual performance. It is not a clubcorner.ch substitute.
Is there a public clubcorner.ch API?
No, not to our knowledge (Paak audit 2026). It is a closed proprietary system — no REST API, no documented webhook. The bridge today is CSV import. A technical partnership with the SFV remains to be explored after the pilot.
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.
