Groups are how you build a private football community with your friends on FootballDream โ share league codes, see who's actually performing on a group leaderboard, challenge each other to head-to-head duels, and keep all the banter in one place instead of forwarding links around a chat.
What a Group actually is
Think of it as a dedicated room for your football crew, built right into FootballDream. Set one up for your office, your college friends, or any community you're part of, public or private. Every group has a Feed for shared leagues, a Members list with roles, a Leaderboard, and head-to-head duels.
Public vs private groups
- Public groups are discoverable by all FootballDream users: great for fan clubs and open communities.
- Private groups are invite-only: only people with your 8-character invite code can join.
- The group creator is the admin and can promote other members, remove members, or delete the group.
How to create a group
- Open the Groups page on FootballDream.
- Tap '+ Create Group' and pick a name, description, and avatar emoji.
- Toggle 'Private group' if you want it invite-only.
- Hit Create: you're automatically the admin.
Inviting friends
Every group has a unique 8-character invite code. Share it so friends can join from the Groups page via 'Join by Code', or copy the direct invite link. It carries the code so friends land straight on the join screen. Drop the link in your football WhatsApp group so everyone joins in one tap.
Auto-create & auto-join leagues
Admins can switch on two power features in Settings. Auto-create-league spins up a fresh Fantasy league for the group roughly 24 hours before each upcoming fixture and posts it to the feed automatically. Auto-join then adds every member who has already built their Fantasy team for that fixture, so nobody misses out. These activate alongside the FootballDream Fantasy game.
The group leaderboard
The Leaderboard tab ranks every member by total points earned since they joined the group, so latecomers are never penalised. Filter by competition (World Cup 2026, UCL, La Liga and more) and the top three earn gold, silver, and bronze. Tap any row inside a competition to audit exactly which games made up their points.
Head-to-head duels
From the Members tab you can challenge any group member to a head-to-head duel on a chosen fixture. They accept or decline, and once the fixture's scored, whoever's fantasy total is higher wins โ this is the feature that settles office arguments.
