The TeamSportz origin story

If you play sports, you might have dreamt of becoming the next Kobe Bryant (RIP), Ronaldo or Jonny Wilkinson and if you coach sports teams you dream of discovering the next Giannis Antetokounmpo or Mo Salah. TeamSportz is fun and has been built for everyone. We believe that we can enable more people to enjoy the sport they love and reach their full potential.

Introducing Facundo, a wizard in the world of frontend development. When he's not coding he is creating more creative ways to use AI to code for him. After graduating from the University of Universidad Tecnológica Nacional in Argentina, he has been shaping up the TeamSportz platform and mobile app.

Meet Ouakhi, our API developer with a passion for innovation and technology. Quick to learn and eager to contribute, she's making waves at TeamSportz by enhancing our API and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

A creative frontend engineer who finds joy in learning how complex things work and finding ways to break them down into seemingly less complex bits. You can find him playing video games or the guitar when he’s not writing code.
