All abilities are welcome to join. The reality is that the more you play, the better you’ll become, so it’s beneficial to make playing football a weekly habit.

What's the game format?

It’s small-sided football, so depending on the venue, it could be 5-a-side to 9-a-side and everything in between.

What's the age requirement for joining?

Just need to be over 18. No upper limit, just bring your game!

Which boots should I wear?

Astro boots are ideal for these 3G/4G pitches. They provide the right grip and support. Always read the game description for more info

I’ve been hosting football games in Manchester for a while now. Every week I see people turn up who’ve never met before, shake hands and by the end they’re laughing like old friends. It's a really friendly environment. Some players are sharp and play every week. Others haven’t kicked a ball in years and are just giving it a go. Nobody really cares about the level. The point is that people show up, run around and switch off from whatever else they’ve got going on.

It's a simple idea but it's a great experience. I arrived to Manchester and I really wanted to play football and this app was a saviour.
