Panka

Panka is a free fantasy football app that brings the fun of team selection and league tables into real-life football, turning the changing room into a place for friendly competition. Made in Bologna, it is designed for everyone from casual five-a-side groups to organised seven- and eleven-a-side teams.

Before a match, players build fantasy line-ups from their teammates using a credit budget and tactical modifiers. After the game, scores are based on player ratings and configured bonuses, with ratings provided by a coach or through anonymous team polls. Panka then calculates points and updates matchday and overall standings.

The app supports several ways to play: friends can compete in a one-off match, players can follow a team’s season, and people in multiple squads can manage separate groups from one profile. Coaches can also use Panka for team call-ups, trial line-ups, post-match ratings, attendance, player values and medical visits. Available for iOS and Android, the app requires no subscription or hidden fees.
