Football from Al Quoz
FOOTYUP’s current organised games take place at Ballers Downtown. If you are starting in Al Quoz, check whether that journey suits your chosen kickoff. We do not currently offer a FOOTYUP session at an Al Quoz ground.
A local pitch rental in Al Quoz
If you already have a group and want to stay in Al Quoz, DEEP SPORTS lists an outdoor 5-a-side artificial-turf pitch at GIIS, Al Meydan Road, Al Quoz 1, with access through Gate 02. Its official football page links to bookings and the location map.
Check the operator’s current price, equipment charges, capacity and rescheduling conditions before paying. This is a third-party pitch rental, not a FOOTYUP session. Your group needs to organise its own players.
Coming alone: the Ballers option
FOOTYUP offers an individual place in organised 8-a-side football at Ballers, 810 Dubai Fountain Street, Downtown Dubai. You do not need to gather a squad. The 90-minute session includes the pitch, bibs and water, with teams arranged by the organiser.
This option involves travelling out of Al Quoz. Plan your route to Ballers from your actual building before choosing a kickoff.
Starting near Alserkal Avenue
For players leaving the Alserkal area, the Avenue’s official visitor guide identifies entrances on 17th Street, 6A Street and First Al Khail Street, and lists ONPASSIVE as its nearest Metro station. Agree a specific entrance when arranging a pickup; use the guide for local access, then plan the onward trip to Ballers.
Choose by format and booking type
Want a local five-a-side pitch for your friends? Start with the rental operator. Want one place with other players and an organiser? Check FOOTYUP’s published games. Our 5-a-side guide explains what to confirm when comparing small-sided options. Bring footwear suitable for the surface you actually book.
Questions, answered
Can I come alone?
Yes. Book an individual place and come on your own. Organisers arrange the teams at the session; you do not need to bring a team.
How does a match run?
Our current games are 8-a-side at Ballers Downtown. A session lasts 90 minutes. Check the match card for the number of places; the organiser manages teams and substitutions on the day.
How do I book a spot?
Choose a published game in the schedule. Sign in or create an account, complete your player profile and follow the booking steps. For a paid game, your place is confirmed after full payment. Check your confirmation before travelling.
What does a game cost?
The current price is shown on each match in the schedule. Review any service fee and the full amount at checkout before paying. The pitch, bibs and water are included.
How do refunds work?
If you cancel your booking at least 24 hours before kickoff, the booking amount is returned only as bonus credit in your personal account. The service fee is non-refundable. Refunds are issued only as bonus credit in your personal account, available for future bookings. Money is not returned to a card, bank account or in cash. Later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. Repeated no-shows may restrict future access.
