Getting Started

What is Tacticalista?

Tacticalista is a football tactical board web application. It supports 11-a-side football, 8-a-side football, and futsal, as well as custom fields where you set the pitch dimensions (10 to 150m) and the number of players (2 to 11).
It works in PC, tablet, and smartphone browsers, and the data saved in the cloud can be accessed from any device.

The interface, designed specifically for football diagrams, lets you create tactics boards intuitively. Boards can be checked in the 3D view and exported as video through animation.
