Football in Barcelona
Mixed, social football for all levels - every Friday on Montjuïc
About Football with Keep Calm Community
Keep Calm Football is mixed, social football (soccer) for English-speaking expats, internationals, and locals in Barcelona. Ladies and gents are both welcome, and so are total beginners - this is social football, not a league, where turning up and having a good time matters far more than the result.
Our regular game runs every Friday at 18:00 at Satalia in Sants-Montjuïc, an 8v8 game on one of the most beautiful pitches in the city, up on Montjuïc with views over Barcelona as the sun goes down. We've teamed up with Vaya Sports, who supply the bibs and balls, provide an on-site organiser, and collect payment through their app. Teams are mixed on the day so everyone gets a proper game, whatever their level.
The game is only half the fun. Afterwards we head to a nearby bar for 30 minutes to an hour of drinks and a chat, so come for the football, the social, or both - you're welcome even if you only want to watch. Join the WhatsApp group to get the weekly Vaya sign-up link.
