Online Sport Infrastructure Management for the Sustainability: Football, Futsal, and Beach Football

In Portugal there are 22 Football Associations—which correspond to 18 districts of the mainland, one in Madeira island and three in the Azores. One of the main tasks of the Football Associations is certifying the sport infrastructures to its official competitions: futsal, football, and beach football. Over the last years, the Technical Council of Leiria Football Association has developed an innovative web platform for Sport Infrastructure Management, used in official competitions, named (in Portuguese) “GIDO—Gestão de Infraestruturas Desportivas Online”. Based on a user-friendly interface, this platform enables the observation of the sport infrastructure characteristics over time, the infrastructures management and promotes benchmarking between them. Additionally, this platform is the best way to optimize the travel time between any geographic point and a sport infrastructure and to know which clubs use that sports infrastructure.
