What’s New
Every feature, fix, and improvement shipped to Football Hub — most recent first.
v2.7Latest
— October 2026Private Messages, Club Announcements, Invitation E-mails & a New Sign-In

- ImprovedMessages and Team Chat now arrive instantly — no refresh, no waiting for the next check
- NewSafeguarding built in — players can never message each other privately, and the club owner and directors can read (never write in) every staff–player conversation

- NewPlayer Portal — a Messages tab to write to your coaches, and your club’s latest announcements on the overview
- NewStaff invitations are now e-mailed to the address you enter, with the code and a one-click link
