The problem

Finding players
shouldn’t be this hard.

Across the Netherlands, players want to play sports. The problem is finding each other.

Players are scattered across fragmented chats

WhatsApp groups, Facebook expat pages, Telegram channels — no single place to find who actually wants to play this weekend.

Getting enough people to confirm is nearly impossible

Everyone's keen in the chat. Nobody commits to a date. You spend more time chasing than playing.

Skill level is unknown until you're there

You join a random group with no idea of the level. You only find out when you're already on the pitch.

Last-minute cancellations kill organised games

After days of coordinating, someone drops out the night before. The game you finally organised falls apart.

The solution

Sports should start with one tap.

The founder

A techie with
a sports problem.

Puru KandhariFounder · Amsterdam

“I spent weeks in WhatsApp threads and Facebook expat groups just trying to find enough people for a volleyball game. Half the time it fell apart. The other half, someone didn’t show up. I kept thinking: there has to be a better way.”

Why it exists

Amsterdam has world-class sports facilities — volleyball courts, tennis courts in Vondelpark, indoor halls across the city. Most of them are underused. Not because nobody wants to play, but because the discovery layer doesn’t exist. Sportpals is that layer — find someone at your level, agree on a time, show up and play. The tech disappears once you’re on the court.

01Show up cultureReliability built in. Reputation, community norms, accountability from the start.
02Quality over scaleBetter to have a smaller, committed community than a big one nobody shows up for.
03Tech in service of playEvery feature earns its place by making real-world sport easier to organise.
