FootyFinder gets you into organised 5, 7 and full 11-a-side matches at real Cape Town venues. Pick your exact spot on the pitch, pay R80 and show up. Every match has a referee, and your goals and assists go straight onto your profile.
Everyone loves the game but hates the admin. We fixed the four things that ruin amateur football in Cape Town.
Someone always "pays you later". The organiser ends up out of pocket every week.
Two guys drop out an hour before and 11 v 11 becomes 8 v 9.
You're a midfielder, but you arrive last and get stuck in goal again.
Arguments over every call, and nobody remembers who scored.
Browse upcoming matches by format, venue and time. You can look around without an account.
Tap an open spot on the live pitch: GK, CB, CM, ST or a sub place. It's held for you for 10 minutes while you pay.
Secure checkout by card or Instant EFT. You get a ticket receipt by email with the venue, kick-off time and your position.
Our referee runs the game and records the result. Your goals, assists and appearances update on your profile.
A look at FootyFinder: the match list, paying for your squad, player profiles and the referee's final result.
Every match shows the format, venue, kick-off, open positions and how full it is, so you can tell straight away if it's on.
Captains can cover named teammates in one checkout, for up to 16 players. Everyone gets their own ticket and nobody pays twice.
The referee's result is final. Goals and assists go onto player profiles and the leaderboards for most matches, goals and assists.
Built in Cape Town for South African amateur football, from a 5-a-side kickabout to a full 11-a-side fixture.
