## Run the fixture

Open Schedule → Matches. Match fixtures are distinct from ordinary training sessions.

1. Create the fixture with the correct squad, opponent, time and venue.
2. Prepare the eligible player lineup and review assignments.
3. Record substitutions and match events through the match workflow.
4. Review the final score and result before saving the completed record.

## Check the context

Verify the academy timezone when arranging away fixtures. A saved lineup is not an external competition registration, and Kelab does not determine federation eligibility.

If the wrong player or result was recorded, use the permitted edit workflow and keep the final academy record accurate. Matches remains a beta feature; confirm it fits your competition's rules before relying on it for a season.
