Play football in Dubai. Solo.
No team, no group chat, no hassle. You book one spot, we sort the pitch, balanced teams, a referee and the kit — five, seven and eight a side, every evening at Ballers in Downtown Dubai. Turn up and play.
How it works
Pick an evening
Open the schedule of the weekly football games and choose a slot that fits your week.
Book your spot
One spot, paid in sixty seconds. Coming alone is the whole point — most members do.
Just play
We split balanced teams on the night. Referee, bibs, water and kit are on us. Ninety minutes, three rotating teams.
Five, seven or eight a side
Whatever your game, there are football matches most nights of the week:
- 5-a-side — fast, technical, the most touches per minute of any format.
- 7-a-side — room for real passing moves, small enough that no one hides.
- 8-a-side — the full evening run, three teams rotating, ninety minutes of football.
Where to play football in Dubai
Home ground is Ballers — 810 Dubai Fountain Street, FIFA-grade turf right under the Burj Khalifa. Your match card carries the address, a map pin and a coordinator on WhatsApp from twenty minutes before kickoff. In Downtown the pitch is on your doorstep; from Business Bay, DIFC, Zabeel, Al Quoz or Dubai Sports City it's an easy evening drive. Prefer drop-in pickup football? Same games, zero commitment.
Why a club, not a pitch booking
Renting a pitch means you still need nine mates, bibs, a ball and someone to keep score. A WhatsApp group means chasing replies all week. FOOTYUP is the bit in between — you bring your boots, we handle everything else:
Come alone, leave with a game
Solo players are the norm. We balance the teams by rating so every match is competitive.
Everything included
Referee on every match, bibs, water and the pitch. After your third game you get a rating, and matchmaking keeps sides even.
That's what makes it social football rather than a league grind — the same faces come back week after week, and the football community in Dubai grows a match at a time. Rather commit properly? Join a football team in Dubai — no trials, no captains. Chasing a match right now? Football games this week. And every match feeds the amateur league layer — standings, reports, ratings.
Questions, answered
Can I play without a team?
Yes — most members come alone. You book one spot and we put you in a balanced team on the night.
What does it cost?
Per match, usually AED 65–80 depending on venue and format — kit, ref and water included. Cancel up to 24 hours before kickoff and the amount becomes credit for your next game.
When are games on?
Every evening. Pick a slot on the schedule, book, and you're on the team sheet straight away.
What level are the players?
Working amateurs of every level. Ratings and matchmaking keep teams balanced, so a first-timer and a regular both get a real game.
Is this football for adults?
Yes — FOOTYUP is adult football, built for working amateurs. Games kick off in the evening, after the workday, and every level gets a real game.
How do I find football players to play with?
You don't have to — the players are already here. Book one spot and you walk into a full, balanced match; play twice a week and you'll know half the pitch by name.
