About Football

PlayHall Football is a top-down football game for friends, one footballer each on a pocket-sized pitch. Keep the ball close, thread a pass, wind up a shot and slide in to win it back. Mistime a tackle and you'll be on the grass watching them go.

Play 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5, in matches of 2, 4 or 6 minutes, with walls round the pitch if you like. A draw can stand, go to golden goal, or go to penalties. With more of you, everyone plays at once on as many pitches as it takes, or the host runs a Knockout Cup, where a level tie goes to penalties.
