Kalisport

What Kalisport does

Kalisport (legally Kalevn SAS) is a privately-held French SaaS company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Saint-Malo, France, that operates an all-in-one management platform for sports associations. The platform consolidates 30+ tools covering member registration, accounting, sponsor management, online payments, training camps, sports scheduling, communication, e-commerce, website building, and a native iOS/Android mobile application, and serves amateur and semi-professional clubs, omnisports associations, departmental committees, regional leagues, national federations and school sports programs. Data is hosted in France and the platform is GDPR-compliant.

The technical stack is conventional web SaaS (PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Angular, Ionic, Docker, Linux) with native mobile apps and integrations to Mangopay for payments, Google Workspace for email, and the French Basketball Federation (FFBB) and French Football Federation (FFF) intranets for federation data synchronization. A separate sub-brand, Mark, provides free tournament-management software with live scoring and public viewing pages. Infrastructure was migrated to Nation Data Center in Rennes in June 2026 following a climate incident at the previous Alkante datacenter.

Kalisport runs a freemium go-to-market: the core platform is free with no member, account, or storage limits, distributed via self-serve signup and federation partnerships. Monetization comes from one-time purchases of premium extensions in the Kalisport Store (custom domains, premium themes, premium sponsorship and accounting modules), domain/email subscription services, and individual coaching/deployment services. The company is bootstrapped, led by President Geoffrey Launay, employs fewer than ten people, and does not yet have external institutional investment.

• SportEasy: Leading French sports team and club management platform; directly competes with Kalisport for amateur sports associations, offering mobile-first team coordination, member management and event tools in the same French volunteer-driven market.
• Heja: Sweden-based mobile-first sports team management platform for amateur clubs; comparable feature surface (scheduling, communication, member coordination) with freemium pricing, though focused on Nordic markets rather than France.

• PlayHQ: Australian sports competition and club management SaaS used by national federations and grassroots clubs; covers registration, payments, fixtures and member data analogous to Kalisport, anchored to ANZ rather than European markets.
• SportsEngine: US sports league and club management platform owned by NBC Sports Next; offers broader portfolio (registration, websites, payment processing, broadcasts) overlapping with Kalisport's all-in-one suite at much larger scale but without French focus.
