Play 5-a-Side has been operating in the UK for almost 15 years, giving the opportunity for both men and women to enjoy fun, friendly and inclusive social football leagues, fitting around their home and work-life!
In 2023, we had a complete brand re-fresh, we changed our branding, our website and even changed our name from ‘Football Invasion’ to ‘Play 5-A-Side’, to compliment our other popular social sports leagues, Play Netball and Play Hockey.
Football leagues for women!
We believe that football is for everybody. Following the Lionesses 2021 success in Europe and their amazing World Cup 2023 campaign, sport for women has been taken to new heights with funding and TV coverage resulting in record numbers of women now playing social and competitive sport, signing up to social leagues and enjoying new opportunities! Our women’s only 5-a-side football leagues have been so in demand that we are continually looking for and opening new locations, bringing more football leagues closer to everybody!
Join a 5-A-Side league
We welcome teams, groups, and individuals to join our football leagues! Our leagues are ideal for those who haven’t played in a long time and want to get back into football, experienced players who just love the social aspect of football, and even those who have never played before and are completely new to football! Don’t feel put off by not having a team to sign up with as over 80% of players who sign up to our leagues sign up as an individual!
