25 Places to Play Before You Die by Turfmapp

The beautiful game connects our planet.

Overstated as it can sound, football is more than a game for many of us—it’s a common language, a vital escape, a way to turn strangers into friends, and the simplest, most reliable source of joy that we know.

These feelings associated with football know no culture. Wherever we go, no matter the corner of the map, we know there’s a game to be found and memories to be made with people who feel the exact same way about the sport as we do.

We long to make those connections, and our friends at Turfmapp created an app that makes it easier than ever to find nearby football matches to play in—a vital resource for lovers of the beautiful game, whether you’re in your home city or just visiting somewhere new for the weekend.

In keeping with the app’s goal of getting users to chart their favourite local playing spaces (called ‘Map Your Turf’), Turfmapp has compiled an amazing footy bucket list—a list of spots you need to play at, at some point in your life.

Turfmapp co-founder Trisikh Sanguanbun told us: ‘We grew up with our feet in different cultures, and soccer was always our way of connecting the world. It was the one thing that was a constant in our lives—more than merely a hobby or a passion but a universal language. That’s what Turfmapp is all about. We’re trying to connect the world with a ball and show that no matter where you go, there’s always a place to play and always a group to play with.’
