Plus 1 Sports Your venueVenue partnerships

For venue owners & operators · Doha, Qatar

Your pitches. Our players.
One tap between them.

Plus 1 Sports is the app getting Qatar playing. You have the pitches, courts and halls they want to play on. This page is everything a venue needs to decide: what we do, what it costs, what we need from you, and how quickly you can be live.

Why venues work with us

Qatar has the facilities.
Qatar has the players.
What's missing is the layer between them.

This is not a supply problem, and it is not a demand problem. It is a routing problem — and routing problems are solved with software, not concrete.

For the operator

Peak hours sell themselves. Everything either side of peak is inventory with a one-hour shelf life — unsold at 3pm Tuesday is gone, permanently. Filling it means reaching people you have no channel to.

For the player

Finding a pitch is one problem. Finding nine other people to make the pitch worth booking is the harder one. Most games in Doha die in a group chat before anyone reaches a venue.

The difference

A booking system sells a pitch to one person. Plus 1 Sports sells a pitch to a game — and brings the other nine people with it. That is the part no facility can build for itself.

The Plus 1 Sports What's on feed, listing football, basketball and tennis games at venues across Doha
Every game carries the name of the venue it's played at.

What your venue can offer

Pickup games, weekly sessions, and a page that's yours

Football pitches, a multi-sport hall, padel or tennis courts — every space is listed on its own, with the sports it suits, so players see exactly where they'll be playing.

GamesPickup gamesFootball 5v5 and 7v7, basketball, volleyball, padel and more. Hosts set them up at your venue, or we open them on pitch time you set aside.
GamesRegular weekly sessionsA game can repeat every week, fortnight or month, so a Tuesday-night 7v7 becomes a fixture players plan around.
ProgramsCommunity sessions & coursesBundle a run of sessions into one pass that players buy once — a six-week league, a beginners' block, a ladies' session.
Your venueEvery pitch, court and hallListed separately, each with its own sports. A hall that takes basketball and volleyball is one space with both. Large sites can pin each one on the map for directions.
Your venueA venue page of your ownPhotos, description, facilities, directions and your upcoming games, with a Verified badge and a link straight to your own booking.
Stays with youPrivate hourly hireWe don't replace your booking system. Players who want a pitch to themselves go straight to your booking link or phone from your venue page — and you keep the whole booking.

The operator's problem

Every unsold hour expires at the end of the hour

A facility's real constraint is not capacity. It is that capacity is perishable. Peak evenings and weekend mornings look after themselves. The rest is paid for, staffed, lit, and empty.

Illustrative — one facility, one week of pitch inventory

Watch the off-peak hours fill as Plus 1 Sports demand is routed into them.

35% Utilisation
Already sold — your peak Empty, paid for anyway Filled by Plus 1 Sports

We don't compete for your peak

Your best hours already sell. We're interested in the ones that don't — which makes this additive revenue, not displaced revenue.

We bring groups, not individuals

A five-a-side game is ten paying people arriving together. Our unit of demand is your unit of inventory.

We handle the awkward parts

Payment, no-shows, cancellations, waitlists and check-in are already built and running. None of it lands on your staff.

How venues work with us

Four ways in — start with the first two

Every step is worth doing on its own, and each includes the one before it. Most venues start Listed and Verified — both free, both live within days — and decide on the rest once they've seen the players arrive.

One thing is fixed at every step: you set the price. Plus 1 Sports is a distribution channel for your pitch time, never a discounter of it.
Free · Live within days

Listed

The baseline. Your venue is in Plus 1 Sports, and anyone setting up a game can choose it.

What it entails

  • Your venue appears in the venue list when a host creates a game, with each pitch, court and hall listed separately.
  • Players see your venue's name on the game, and a directions link to find you.
  • Hosts book the pitch with you directly, the way they already do. No money passes through us.
  • Players can filter What's on by your venue to see every game played there.

Free · A link each way

Verified

A proper venue page in Plus 1 Sports, built from your information — and a link from you to us, for the customers who have a pitch but not a team.

What it entails

  • A venue page of your own: photos, description, sports, facilities, every pitch and court, directions and your upcoming games — supplied by you, so it reads the way you want.
  • A Verified badge on your venue page, and your page included in search engines.
  • “Book directly with the venue”, your website and your phone number on the page. Private hire goes straight to you, and you keep the whole booking.
  • In return, you add a link to Plus 1 Sports — on your site or your booking confirmation — along the lines of “Need more players?”

Dedicated

You set aside pitch time each week. We open games on it, sell the places, and run the game on the day.

What it entails

  • Everything in Verified, plus a number of slots each week — the pitches, courts and times you choose — set aside for Plus 1 Sports.
  • We open a game on each slot and sell the places directly, so filling it never waits for a host to appear. A host can also take a slot and build their own game on it.
  • We run everything that follows: payment, waitlists, guests, no-shows, cancellations, refunds and check-in.
  • Nothing to install and nothing to connect. The slots are agreed in advance, so they can't be double-booked — they simply aren't available anywhere else.
  • You receive an itemised statement of every slot and every booking, settled on a cycle we agree.

The shape of it

You provide
The slots, your price for each, and a named contact for the statement.
We provide

For operators with a booking system

Connected

Your booking system stays exactly where it is — and Plus 1 Sports reads and writes to it in real time.

What it entails

  • A two-way link with your booking system. Availability is read live, so there's no fixed allocation to fence off.
  • A slot is held in your system before a player is charged, and released if the booking isn't completed — so it can never be sold twice.
  • Cancellations on either side free the slot on the other, and settlement is automatic.
  • We build it, at our cost, around your system — not the other way round. Your system stays the record, always.

The shape of it

You provide
Access to your booking system — or an introduction to its vendor — and a technical contact.
We provide
The integration, testing, monitoring and support.
Time to live
Scoped with you — it depends on your booking system.

Being listed and having a verified venue page costs nothing. Money only moves when we sell pitch time you've set aside — at a price you choose.

Common questions

What venues ask us first

Can players book my pitches by the hour through Plus 1 Sports?

Not as private hire — deliberately. We don't replace your booking system, and we don't want to. Players who want a pitch to themselves go straight from your venue page to your own booking link or phone, and you keep the whole booking.

What Plus 1 Sports sells is places in games — a pickup game, a weekly session — on pitch time you've set aside for us.

Can I run regular weekly games or community sessions?

Yes. A game can repeat weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and a Program bundles a run of sessions — a league, a course, a community night — into one pass players buy once.

You can host them yourself from a Plus 1 Sports account, or dedicate the slots and let us run them.

I have outdoor pitches and a multi-sport hall. How does that show up?

Each space is listed separately, with the sports it suits. A hall used for basketball and volleyball is one space with both sports. Every game shows which pitch or court it's on, and a large site can give each space its own map pin, so directions take players to the right door.

Which sports can be played?

Football, basketball, volleyball, padel, tennis, badminton, squash, rugby, cricket and running — with formats like 5v5 and 7v7 set per game. Adding a sport is a configuration change on our side, not a software release.

Who sets the price?

You do, at every step. Plus 1 Sports is a distribution channel for your pitch time, never a discounter of it.

How do players pay, and how do I get paid?

For Listed and Verified, nothing changes: hosts and private hire pay you directly.

For Dedicated slots, players pay in the app by card (SADAD) or bank transfer (Fawran). We settle with you against an itemised statement of every slot and booking, on a cycle we agree.

Do I need to change my booking system?

No. Listed, Verified and Dedicated don't touch it. Connected is only for operators who want live availability, and we build that around your system.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Every step is easy to undo: remove the listing, remove a link, end the allocation, or switch off the channel. Nothing is migrated, and there's nothing to unpick.

Let's start

Give us the hours nobody books. We'll bring the players.

Send us your venue's name and location, and we'll take it from there.
