Questions
Why is Create Match greyed out or missing?
Your squad needs enough players for its format and a captain, and whoever handles matches in your squad has to be you. The squad rules decide whether that's the coaches or the admins.
Can I create a match for tomorrow?
No. Kick-off has to be at least 24 hours away, and it can't be within 24 hours of another of your matches.
