Football for English speakers in Barcelona

Casual 5-a-side in English — boots optional, banter guaranteed.

Watching Barça is part of living here — playing yourself is even better. Our casual football games bring English speakers together on pitches around the city. Teams are picked on the night and mixed up between games, so it's about a good run-around and meeting people, not winning the league.

What to expect

  • Friendly 5-a-side or 7-a-side — fun first
  • Teams picked on the night and reshuffled
  • Pitch hire split between players
  • A drink together after the final whistle

New public events are posted on Meetup every week — and members often organise their own football on Linkdful.

Questions about football

What should I wear?
Sports kit and the right shoes for the surface — the event will say if it's artificial grass or indoor. A light and a dark shirt help split teams.
How competitive is it?
Not very. Everyone gets a game and beginners are genuinely welcome.
