Which platform does your team use?

Norwegian football clubs choose their own team management system. The most common are Spond (free version popular with smaller teams), Holdsport (often used by clubs with many teams), and MinIdrett (connected to the Norwegian Sports Confederation's registers). Some clubs build their own solutions or use Facebook groups and email lists. Check with the team manager or in the welcome email you received when the player was registered: it states which platform the club uses and where you log in.

If you cannot find the information, ask another parent on the team. Most have gone through the same process and can show you the correct web address or app.

Logging in via Spond

Spond is used by many youth teams because the basic version is free. You log in by downloading the Spond app (iOS or Android) or going to spond.com. The first time, you create an account with your email address and set a password. The team manager must then add you to the team's group.

Once added, you see the team's activities in the app. You respond to attendance by clicking on each training session or match and choosing whether the player is coming. If you do not see any activities even though the team manager says you have been added, check that you are using the same email address the team manager has registered.

Logging in via Holdsport

Holdsport is common in clubs that pay for an administration system for all their teams. You log in at holdsport.dk or holdsport.no (both work for Norwegian clubs) or via the Holdsport app. The first login usually happens when the team manager sends you an invitation by email with a link. Click the link, create a password, and you are in.

Holdsport shows training attendance, match schedules and often also membership fee information. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" function on the login page. If you have not received an invitation, contact the team manager and confirm they have the correct email address.

Logging in via MinIdrett

MinIdrett is the Norwegian Sports Confederation's official system, used for both player registration and team administration in some clubs. Here you log in with BankID or MinID because the system handles personal information connected to the NFF's player register. Go to minidrett.nif.no and choose your login method.

BankID login on MinIdrett is the same process as online banking: open the BankID app on your phone, approve the login, and you are in. If you do not have BankID, you can use MinID, which you order for free at minid.no. Parents log in with their own BankID/MinID, not the child's, because children under 13 do not have their own digital identity in this system.

MinIdrett shows the player's club affiliation, insurance and registration status. Some clubs use MinIdrett only for registration and another system for daily communication, so check with the team manager what applies.

When login does not work

If you have forgotten your password, use "Forgot password" on the login page. Most systems send a link by email where you can set a new password. Check the spam folder if the email does not appear within five minutes.

If you type the correct password but get an error message, try to log out from all devices (PC, mobile, tablet) and log in again on one device. Some systems limit the number of active sessions. Also check that you are using the correct email address — parents often register with a work address but later try to log in with a personal address.

If the problem persists, take a screenshot of the error message and send it to the team manager. They can contact the system's support or check whether your account is correctly set up in the system.

What the MyTeams app does

MyTeams is one of several team management apps Norwegian football clubs can choose. It works like Spond and Holdsport: you register attendance, see match schedules and communicate with the team. Login happens by creating an account with email and password, and the team manager adds you to the team's group.

If your team uses MyTeams, you receive an invitation from the team manager with instructions to download the app and create an account. If the team uses another system, follow the instructions for that system instead. No app works across platforms — you must use the system the club has chosen.
