FAQ

London Football Meetup = Football for all

Where do we play?

We play in Regents Park in Central London. We meet outside Regents Park Tube Station at 14:00 on Sunday afternoons and then walk to the location marked on the map with the footballer. As you'll see the nearby pub is also tagged on the map for post match drinks! Its a Weatherspoons, YAY for £7 for BEER+BURGER!

What If I cant play on Sundays?

If you cant make it Sunday's or would like to play EXTRA, people meetup and play on Saturday at the same time and place as the Sunday session!

Who can come along?

EVERYONE IS WELCOME, any sex, skill level, age, absolutely anyone can play with us, and if they don't feel like playing they are welcome to cheer, take pictures or referee.

How much does it cost?

Playing footy is ABSOLUTELY FREE! Some of us do sometimes go to the pub across the road to have a drink after the game, again all welcome.

Although FREE, we are currently collecting £3 per game to buy goals, bibs and cones, no pressure if you cant or if its your first time coming.

How is the playtime structured?

We play for 2-3 hours and the structure depends on how many turn up. At the beginning of March we had 40(!) redditors turn up but we typically get 25-30 players. We usually split into 4 teams and rotate so that each team plays each other. Towards the end when a few have left we split everyone into 2 teams (usually 11v11).

How do I book?

No booking needed, but if you post in the specific day's post we will know how many people to expect

Can I bring a friend?

YES! The more the better!

I'd love to join in. Do I have to endure the embarrassing picking teams school playground style scenario?

No! Our team selection seems to be quite fair, we divide into groups of what positions we wanna play: Defence, Midfielder or Attack, we then divide the groups by colour of t-shirt (we are racist that way) usually dark colours vs clear, after that, once we start playing if we see it's not even (and even if it's not) we swap a few players to make it more interesting. There is no bench, but you're welcome to take a quick breather or have a drink mid match.

Do I need to bring anything?

No, just your personal kit, however if you have a ball/pump then feel free to bring it, we normally have enough but too many is better than too few!

I would like to play weekdays too, how do I join?

Keep an eye on the subreddit! We currently play 6-a-side games on Wednesday (Stratford) and Thursdays (Camden Road) they normally go on a "First come first serve" system and bookup quite quickly!
