Project: Manager & Referee Login Portals + Match Workflow Platform: WordPress (SportPress Plugin) Objective: Build simple, user-friendly login areas for team managers and referees, with a controlled workflow for adding players, submitting match scores, and completing match reports.
⸻
1. Overview
We need two new user login areas—Manager Portal and Referee Portal—integrated with the existing SportPress plugin. These portals must be extremely simple and intuitive, suitable for non-technical users.
The system must allow managers to log in, and complete their portion of match reports. Referees must be able to log in to see their assigned fixtures, record the score, and record disciplinary actions. Notifications and approval flows must be integrated.

2. User Types
2.1 Managers • Log in to a dedicated Manager Portal. • Add players to their team (pending approval by admin before visible/active). • Receive notifications when referee has completed match data. • Complete their portion of the match report: • Goalscorers • Yellow/red cards for their players (if applicable)
2.2 Referees • Log in to a dedicated Referee Portal. • Access a list of their assigned matches only. • After the match: • Enter the final score. • Enter yellow/red cards issued (per team & player). • Submitting this triggers notifications to both teams’ managers.
2.3 Admin (Me) • Approves new players added by managers. • Can override any match data. • Receives notifications when managers and referees complete their steps.

3. Functional Requirements
3.1 Login Portals • Entry points: • /manager-login • /referee-login • Clean, mobile-friendly UI (these users will likely be on phones). • Custom role types: • manager • referee • Restrict backend access — portals must be front-end based only.

Player Management • Add player (form fields TBD – basic info only) • Status: Pending approval / Approved • Admin receives notification when new player is submitted 3. Match Report Completion Managers should only be able to edit the following: (once completed they cannot edit) • Goals scored (select players; number of goals) • Cards for their own players (yellow/red)
Validation: • Manager cannot enter scores; only referee can. • Manager cannot edit other team’s data. 4. Notifications • Email/push notification when: • Referee submits match result • Admin approves/rejects a player

Match Submission Form After the match, the referee should be able to record: • Final score (home/away) • Yellow cards (team → player → minute) • Red cards (team → player → minute) • Any admin notes 3. Submission Workflow • When submitted: • Lock referee fields from further editing • Trigger notification to both managers to complete their match report

3.4 Data Workflow Summary
Step 1: Match Played • Referee logs into Referee Portal → selects the match → enters: • Score • Cards • Submits match result.
Step 2: Managers Notified • Both team managers receive notification (email/SMS if possible).
