ABOUT US

OUR Story

Matchday’s beginning finds its roots in the partnership forged by two colleagues who were pursuing their Master’s Degree in Soccer Business. One of the co-founders, Michael Hollman, serves as the Founder and CEO,  born in the United States and possesses a lifelong devotion to soccer, particularly as an passionate supporter of “You Will Never Walk Alone,” the iconic Liverpool FC. The other co-founder, Miguel Avendaño, was born in Colombia and shares his passion for soccer through his strong allegiance to the renowned Catalan football club, Barcelona FC.

The start of the MatchDay idea took shape when they identified a void within the US: the absence of a dedicated app to facilitate impromptu pick-up sports matches, with a particular focus on soccer. 

MAIN PILLARS

  • 1. We offer a top experience via our state-of-the-art mobile app.

  • 3. Never stop playing the sport you love. Everyone is welcome at MatchDay. Our community is our greatest asset.

Goal Statement

Our goal is to become the largest host of pickup sports matches in the United States.

Match Day aspires to curate and influence the growth of the pickup soccer culture and community in the USA, and abroad, through lifelong engagement with the game–both as players and fans.
