Munich / Pickup football in Munich

Pickup football in Munich — join a game this week

Football is the fastest way into a group in Munich: nobody cares where you’re from once the ball is rolling. On summer evenings you’ll find casual games all over the city’s parks — they just aren’t easy to find if you don’t know anyone.

On Hellohood people post games with the time, the place and how many players they still need — “6-a-side, need 3 more, 18:00 Olympiapark” — so you can just show up.

Where people play football in Munich

Englischer Garten meadows — Casual summer games, especially on weekends.
Olympiapark — Big open lawns near the lake.

Hobby leagues & indoor halls — For winter and for people who want a fixed team.

Tips

Bring a light and a dark shirt so teams are easy.
Say the level in the plan (“chill”, “competitive”).
Winter: book an indoor pitch together and split the cost.
