GOLAZO.

A youth team travels to the world’s biggest youth tournament.

The Gothia Cup in Gothenburg: thousands of teams, a week of tournament — and a lot of downtime at the accommodation in between. The coach’s question: how do you keep fourteen boys together as a team, motivated and engaged, without it feeling like homework?

Off-the-shelf team apps aren’t built for that. They manage schedules — they don’t create energy.

A platform that feels like a game, not a tool.

GOLAZO gives every player their own profile behind jersey number + code: skill challenges with a rating that evolves across disciplines, duels against teammates, a daily quiz — and a World Cup prediction game across all 104 matches that feeds the team leaderboard. All mobile, all built around the tournament, down to a player-of-the-day.

Built for my own team and proven in tournament use: 16 approved players used the platform at the Gothia Cup in July 2026 — the harshest test group imaginable, because fourteen-year-olds abandon an app without mercy the moment it gets boring. Not a client project: proof that one person with Claude Code can ship a complete platform with child safety, anti-cheat, and live operations.
