What is CSFC?

CSFC stands for Core Street Football Community. We run pickup football games across Portugal — you book a single spot in a game that is already organised, turn up, and play.

You don't need a team

That is the whole point. Most people who book with CSFC arrive on their own.

Teams are mixed on the day from whoever is there, so you are never the person standing on the side waiting to be picked. If you do want to bring people, you can book and pay for their spots too.

Where we play

Lisbon and the surrounding area — Cascais, Oeiras, Almada — plus Porto. You pick a city in the app and see only the pitches and games in it.

Every pitch page lists the format, the surface and the facilities: parking, public transport, whether it's covered, and whether there are showers.

What it costs

You pay per game. There is no membership, no subscription and no joining fee.

• The price is shown on the game before you book, and it is the whole price.
• You can pay by card, from your CSFC balance, or split across both.
• Prices vary by pitch and format — a full pitch costs more than a 5-a-side.

Formats

5-a-side, 7-a-side and full pitch, depending on the venue. The format is on every game listing, along with how many spots are left and how many players are needed for the game to be confirmed.

Web and app

The website and the iOS and Android apps are the same product and the same account — book on one, check in on the other. The app adds push notifications, which matter most when a spot opens up on a waitlist and gets taken in minutes.
