Hi Darren

Just wondering if you found anything about playing football in Paris, I'm in a similar boat to you and REALLY miss the game! Would be great to hear how you got on with your search.

I don't know if this will be useful to either of you, but there is a women's league called PUC (Paris Université Club) http://www.pucfoot.com/feminines.html. They play on a new generation of artificial turf in Paris (75013) at the Stade of Charlety, very close to the Cité Universitaire. Training sessions are twice a week (Monday and Wednesday at 8 pm) and games are Saturday afternoons.
Contact: pucfoot@yahoo.fr

Maybe they will know of some men's leagues. Best of luck!

 

Hello,

have u guys been successful in finding somewhere to play in Paris? I just moved here to live for some months and would very much like to play some football. I'm from Brazil, speak a little bit of french and english. Would play serious matches or just for fun, doesn't matter.

My email adress is f.sette@gmail.com.

Fernando.

 

While this might be the opposite of a 'serious game', you know you can find quite a few people who randomly kick the ball around and play a bit of football on le Champ de Mars, and on weekends in Bois du Boulogne. If you find one or two people with you I'm sure you could rustle up a little group of people to play. I've certainly gotten hit by a soccer ball or two, or had them land in the middle of our meal while relaxing with friends. Haha.

There's also a field near the Eiffel tower (RER stop Champ de Mars Tour Eiffel) I see playing on an enclosed field there quite regularly. Maybe it's some kind of club?

You could also ask la fédération française de foot for some suggestions about amateur/club play for fun...near la motte picquet grenelle.

 

Hi Guys! I was in the same position as you, so I recently started a soccer meet up to get a good group of people and play 5v5 soccer. Check it out: http://www.meetup.com/International-Par ... er-Meetup/
