I recently moved to Amsterdam with my girlfriend, and I used to play futsal in Nijmegen. It was a great way to get cardio in and socialize at the same time. I’ve noticed a lot of people in Amsterdam, especially expats, struggle to socialize in Amsterdam, so I’d like to help create an easy way to meet people through sport.
So me and my friends have formed a group to now play weekly in-door football in Amsterdam, but we need more players to make it consistent. We're Dutch ourselves and have a few internationals who recently joined but are still looking for a few more people to join.
This group is for competitive football without fixed obligations. We play serious, but respect each other, and make sure everyone gets home in one piece. And always some fun locker room talk afterwards
Over the coming weeks and months, we want to grow the group. Friends of friends are welcome too, as long as there is an interest in football and you live in Amsterdam!
Structure
• Every week we post a poll in our Whatsapp group to decide which day works for most people that week
• We usually play 1 hour, sometime between 18:00 and 23:00
• If there are not enough players that week, we skip it
Game and level
• Competitive and serious, but relaxed atmosphere
• Ideal setup is 5v5, more players is fine
• With more people we rotate subs or play mini tournament format
If you live in Amsterdam and like football, send me a message or comment below.
Everyone is welcome!
