EVERY SUNDAY DESERVES A RECORD.
The Fourth Official is the back-office for Trini amateur football. Built so the captain stops chasing money in WhatsApp and the player stops losing his stats to a dead group chat.
Built by a baller who organized.
Daniel is Trini football through and through. He played for his school, then turned out for team after team around the country over the years. He knows the game from the inside, as a baller who has actually had to read it from the pitch.
But more than playing, he was always the one organizing. The sweats, the amateur matches, the TT$50-a-head Sunday kickabout. He booked the pitch, rounded up the players, sorted the ref, and chased the money. Doing that weekend after weekend, he saw the seam nobody talks about: the pitch, the ref, the fees, the roll call, the stats - every piece lived somewhere different. A WhatsApp group, his head, a Notes app. And none of it talked to each other. That messy gap between the moving parts is exactly what The Fourth Official closes. He builds software for a living, so he built the thing he kept wishing existed every weekend.
02 - WHY THIS EXISTSBuilt for the game we actually play.
So this is the back-office for that whole weekend ritual. One place where the pitch booking, the ref, the fees, the roll call, and the stats finally talk to each other instead of scattering across five apps and one captain's memory. Real talent goes uncounted. Real money goes uncollected. The Fourth Official exists to record the game properly and pay the people who run it on time.
This is not Strava with a fete name slapped on it. It is not a fantasy league, not a streaming service, not a brand looking for a content niche. It is a record-keeper and a settlement layer for the actual football that happens on actual Trini pitches every weekend. Captains run their teams. Refs get paid. Players carry their stats with them. Field owners book their grounds. That is the whole product.
03 - GEOGRAPHYTrinidad first. Everywhere next.
The pilot zones are Diego Martin, Maraval, San Juan, Chaguanas, San Fernando, and Princes Town - the corridors where the most Sunday football already happens. Tobago joins in early '26 once the pitch list there is complete. The English-speaking Caribbean (Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia) comes online through '27 as captains in those markets sign on. We travel with the football, not the marketing budget. If your league plays it, it belongs here.
We are not trying to reinvent the game. We are just tired of losing it to a WhatsApp that nobody scrolled back far enough.
