What To Expect
We arrange a meeting point and meet approximately 45 minutes before the game starts. Transportation to and from the football pitch is included in the activity, and the drive usually takes around 10–15 minutes. Once we arrive at the pitch and meet the rest of the team, we go through some frequently asked questions, such as “Which team do you support?” and learn a few basic Greek football phrases and vocabulary. We then focus on the game, team positions, and perhaps even some stretching exercises :) After the match, we spend some time together discussing the game, sharing football stories from around the world, and enjoying the snacks and drinks provided. Before leaving the pitch area and heading back to the metro station, we take plenty of team photos, which will be collected and sent to you by email in the following days.

5.00It's one of the most underrated experiences to do here in Athens. I enjoyed a lot playing with George's firends and with people from all around the world. George was really kind and available with everything, especially for the pick up. I look forward to play again next week.

5.00I had an absolutely amazing experience playing football with locals in Athens. From the start, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, which made it easy to join in and enjoy the game. The host, George, was fantastic—he even helped me choose and buy football shoes before the game, which was a huge help. The whole event was well-organized, fun, and had a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this to any football fan visiting or living in Athens. It’s a perfect way to enjoy the sport while connecting with local players!
Fun and footy

5.00If you like football, then this is for you. A group of great local people is doing an amazing work regarding this activity. At first I was intrigued by playing football with locals. And then completely impressed after trying it! Except for getting a lot of sublime energy, you also get the real insight on how they do it in Greece. 🇬🇷 On top of that, we went on dinner and tried some authentic Greek food and drinks. I loved every minute of it! On the other hand — spending time in an encouraging environment makes this experience even more unique and incredible. Big hello to the whole team! Best, Filip
FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!

5.00I had a great time! George pick me up at the metro station and help me by taking me to some outlets where I bought some great football shoes for only 23 euros. Then we arrived to an awesome football field where I’ve met some amazing people. We played for almost 90 minutes a great game. And then he took me back to the metro station. He also helped me with some indications of places to eat and travel. The experience was great so I’m planning to repeat next week!
