Easily find a gaming partner thanks to the new feature  “Public Matches”  launched by  Anybuddy , the platform in France for the  booking of racquet sports This innovation addresses a major problem:  Nearly 20% of players do not play due to a lack of partners .

 A major obstacle finally removed for the players 

In the universe of  tennis ,  paddle ,  badminton  or the  squash One observation is inescapable:  Finding a partner who is available, at the right level, and at the right time remains difficult. .

According to Anybuddy's data,  One in five players gives up playing due to a lack of a partner , a significant obstacle in a context where the practice continues to grow, particularly for the  paddle , which counts today  nearly 850,000 players in France i.e  +40% in one year .

In cities like  Paris, Lyon or Bordeaux Demand is exploding, but available players don't always know each other, which limits the practice.

 “Public Matches”, a simple and immediate solution 

To address this need,  Anybuddy is deploying “Public Matches” all over France , a feature designed for  simplify the organization of games .

The principle is based on fluid mechanics:

  • The player  reserve a pitch via the app 
  • He activates the option  Public Match  (sport, level, number of players)
  • The match becomes  visible locally 
  • Other players may  join the game and pay their share directly 

This approach allows to  Create or join a match in seconds , while ensuring a tailored experience.

Anybuddy launches “Public Matches” to find the ideal partner

 Technology designed for balanced matches 

To ensure the quality of the encounters, the platform relies on several tools:

  • un  matching algorithm  based on the  level, availability and location 
  • un  reliability index  built from the  player ratings 
  • another  real-time visibility of nearby matches 

The objective is clear: to offer  balanced, reliable and accessible matches  to all practitioners.

"With Public Matches, we eliminate the number one problem for players: finding someone available and of their skill level," explains  Frédéric Fouco, co-founder of Anybuddy .

 A concrete response to the growth of padel 

The rise of the  paddle  accentuates this need for rapid connection.

Iconic places like the  grounds of the Luxembourg Garden in Paris The data, as used by Anybuddy, perfectly illustrates the situation:  Highly sought-after pitches, but players who struggle to find each other .

Public matches thus allow for the optimization of infrastructure use and  streamline the practice .

 A feature that has already been tested and adopted. 

Before its national launch, the feature was  tested for three months in the North , With a  strong user enthusiasm confirming its potential.

Created in  2017 Anybuddy has now established itself as a  major platform  :

  •  10,000 properties listed 
  •  1,500 partner clubs 
  • presence in  France, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland 
  •  €15 million in business volume by 2025 
  • le  Padel represents 45% of the activity 

 A clear ambition: to simplify and socialize the practice 

With this new feature, Anybuddy is pursuing a specific goal:

 to remove the two main obstacles to the practice of racket sports  :

  •  find land 
  •  find a partner 

 “Public Matches”  thus fall within a desire to make sport  more accessible, spontaneous and social , in line with the new practices of practitioners.
