It does not matter which app you use today. Your match history belongs to you, and bringing it to Footbeen is straightforward. Here is how.
Most football trackers let you export your data. Here is where to look:
Open your current app and look for Export, Download Data, or Share in your Settings, Profile, or Account section. Many apps bury this option — check every menu.
The most useful format is CSV (comma-separated values). Some apps also offer Excel, JSON, or plain text. Footbeen can read all of these. If you see multiple export options, choose "Fixtures" or "Matches" — that is the data you need.
Email it to yourself, save to Files (iOS) or Downloads (Android), or share it to any cloud storage. You will upload it to Footbeen in the next step.
Under GDPR and similar privacy laws, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data. Send your app a message asking for it. Here is a template you can copy and paste:
Copy this message and send it to your app's support:
Hi, I would like to request a copy of my personal data under my data portability rights (GDPR Article 20). Specifically, I need my match attendance history (dates, teams, stadiums, scores) exported as a CSV or any structured format. My account email is [YOUR EMAIL]. Thank you.
Most apps respond within a few days. Some may take up to 30 days (the legal maximum under GDPR).
If your app shows a list of matches you have attended, you can simply scroll through it and type them into a spreadsheet or notes app. Include the date, home team, away team, and competition for each match. Then paste that list into Footbeen's import tool — it will match them with our database.
Download Footbeen and start logging new matches immediately. Then backfill your history at your own pace — search for past fixtures in Footbeen (we have 1,000,000+ matches from 2010 onwards) and tap "I was there." Many users find that searching by date or club is faster than dealing with CSV files. It takes a few evenings, but your whole history ends up in one clean place.
Open the Settings screen and tap Import Matches. You will see options to upload a file or paste text.
Upload your CSV/Excel file, or paste your match list directly. Footbeen will automatically detect the format, match your games against our database of 1,000,000+ fixtures across 1,300+ leagues, and import everything it can find.
Footbeen will show you which matches were successfully matched and which ones could not be found. Confirm the import, and your map, stats, and match diary will populate instantly.
Footbeen's import is flexible. We read:
The minimum we need per match is a date and two team names. If your data includes stadiums, scores, or competitions, even better — we will import all of it.
We have step-by-step guides for the most popular trackers:

Start with what you remember. Your camera roll, social media posts, old tickets, and text conversations are surprisingly good memory aids. Many fans discover they have attended far more matches than they thought once they start digging. Add them gradually — there is no deadline.
