Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a kickabout near me?

Tell Football Hub UK your location, level and availability. GameOn Active is live, but football availability varies by area; your preferences help show where more games are wanted.

What's the difference between 5-a-side, 7-a-side and 11-a-side?

5-a-side is the most popular for casual games - usually played on smaller pitches (often 3G/astro turf) with 5 players per team. 7-a-side is a bit bigger, and 11-a-side is full-size. Most casual games are 5-a-side or 7-a-side, perfect for a kickabout after work or on weekends.

How do I organise my own game?

Create and list your game free in GameOn Active. Add the date, time, location and format, then share your game link with friends and players. You can also share your GameOn profile to show past, current and upcoming games. A processing fee applies only when you take payments through the app.

Do I need to be good at football?

No. You can submit preferences for any level, from beginner to advanced. Game formats and ability groupings depend on what organisers make available in each area.

Where can I play football in Stoke-on-Trent?

Football facilities vary by area. Tell us where and when you want to play in Stoke-on-Trent; your preferences help GameOn Active understand local demand without implying that a suitable game is already available. Powerleague.co.uk, Goals.co.uk — major UK 5-a-side facility operators

How much does it cost to play?

Costs vary by venue and city. At dedicated 5-a-side facilities such as Powerleague and Goals, hourly pitch hire typically runs from £30 to £60 depending on location and time of day (check venue websites for current pricing). Organisers split this between players — usually around £3–£8 per person. Local authority and park pitches are often cheaper. The organiser will always confirm the cost before the session. Venue pricing: Powerleague.co.uk, Goals.co.uk (prices vary by location and time of day, 2024)

What should I bring to a game?

Bring football boots (or trainers if it's 3G/astro turf - check with the organiser), shin pads (highly recommended), water, and a change of clothes. The organiser usually provides the football, but it's worth checking.

Can I organise a regular weekly game?

Yes. Organisers can create and list recurring or one-off games free in GameOn Active, then share the game link with players. Payment-processing fees apply only when taking payments through the app.

What happens if a game gets cancelled?

Cancellation arrangements depend on the organiser and the game. Check the details and any organiser updates before travelling.

Are games mixed-gender?

That depends on the organiser and the game. Check the individual game details when a relevant option becomes available.

Can I join if I'm new to the area?

Football can be a great way to meet people in a new city. Share your playing preferences so we can understand what you are looking for and let you know when relevant games become available.

What's the vibe like at casual games?

Most games are friendly and social - it's about having a good kickabout, getting some exercise, and meeting people. Competitive but not too serious. Some games are more relaxed, some are a bit more competitive - the organiser will usually indicate the vibe.

How does the referral program work?

What benefits do I get for referring friends?
