Friendly, amateur football for English speakers in Barcelona, on one of the most scenic pitches in the city.
This is social football, not a league. Teams are mixed up on the day so everyone gets a proper game, and the result matters far less than turning up and having a good time.
**Who it's for**
Everyone. This is amateur football aimed at beginners and improvers - no experience needed, and you don't need to bring a team or any kit. We play mixed teams (ladies and gents together) and we'd especially love more women to get involved, so if you've been thinking about it, this is your sign.
**What to expect**
- 8v8, mixed teams, all levels
- Bring a black or dark shirt, plus a lighter one if you have it, so teams can be split easily
- Footwear for the surface (boots or astros), water, and shin pads if you like them
- Pitch fees are split between players (just a few euros each), paid through the Vaya Sports app
- We head to a nearby bar afterwards for drinks and a chat - come for the football, the social, or both
**Run in partnership with Vaya Sports**
We've teamed up with Vaya Sports, who book the pitch, provide an on-site organiser, and supply the bibs and balls. You sign up and pay your share through the Vaya app - the link is shared each week in our WhatsApp group.
**How to join**
RSVP here on Meetup, then join our WhatsApp group at https://keepcalm.fit/meetup/football - this is where the weekly Vaya sign-up link, pitch confirmation, day, time, and venue are shared, and you must be in the group before you can come to a session. Spots are limited by pitch size, so confirm early and only if you can commit.
**About Keep Calm**
