The best way to play football!!

Playing via Stranger Soccer has been an amazing experience. It is really well organised and there are plenty of games to pick from. The app is a great way to find and register for games. The staff are quite proactive in terms of keeping you posted about upcoming games and new games that require players. The hosts for the games are brilliant. Super inclusive, fun and great venues to choose from. Highly recommend to anyone looking to play football - all skill levels welcome.

Constantly Canceled Games

These guys are canceling games with less than one hours notice regularly. I strongly recommend you just skip this.

Best Football Experience in Sydney

Easy to book games, professionally run, great quality 5-a-side football. Came across the world and was very happy to find this app as it meant I could play good football and meet tons of great people with ease. I’ve played with players of all abilities here and it’s always been a fun and friendly environment for all, would definitely recommend!

Best football experience in Sydney

Recently moved back to Sydney for London after a few years and struggled to find a good app until I found this. They do tournaments once a month which are class, got to try this one 💪

The “Tinder” of Fooball!!

Moved from the UK to Sydney knowing absolutely nobody, and Stranger Soccer has been my go-to ever since! Nearly 300 games in 2 years says it all.

Great, casual kickabouts, balanced teams, a few beers with the lads afterwards and regular tournaments. It’s a great way to meet people and feel part of something when you’re new to a city.

Alex, who runs the app, is an absolute legend (bit Brentford fan). Easy-going, welcoming and makes everyone feel at home.

If you’re new to Sydney or just fancy a kickabout, get involved. You won’t regret it!

Scammed from the very first game

My first experiences with Stranger Soccer have been pretty bad. I booked a game far from home, it got confirmed, and then cancelled 40 minutes before kickoff while I was already heading there. The next day’s game had only seven players for a 5v5, no cancellation notice, and support didn’t pick up. I skipped it because I didn’t want to pay for a 3v3, and still got charged.

A week later, my complaint hasn’t been addressed. Someone from their team even asked how the game went — the game that never happened — and then told me I should have played anyway. I tried escalating and got ghosted. Really disappointing experience so far.

Brilliant community and app

Stranger Soccer is the best thing sliced bread. There are so many great options, whether you want to play 5s, 7s or 11 a side. Always a great game, good competitive standard, really nice hosts, well organised and a great way to meet people. Thank you to the organisers and hosts for providing this much needed platform and community.

Money minded

Stranger Soccer is honestly one of the most disappointing platforms I’ve dealt with. They claim to be about making football accessible, but that clearly doesn’t apply if you’re in a remote area. It feels like players outside major cities are completely ignored — limited games, poor organization, and zero effort to expand or support those communities.

On top of that, the fees are ridiculously high for what you actually get. You’re paying premium prices for a service that barely delivers, especially if you’re not in a central location. There’s no real value, no fairness, and definitely no consideration for players who don’t live in busy urban hubs.

What makes it worse is the poor communication. Games get cancelled and you’re only informed about 45 minutes before kickoff — completely inconsiderate for people who’ve already planned their time, travel, and schedule around it.

They also do nothing to encourage new players to join. No real incentives, no effort to grow the community — just a constant push for bookings and payments.

Meanwhile, local hosts are the only ones actually trying — going above and beyond to organise games and keep things running — yet they get little to no acknowledgement or support for their efforts. It’s completely unfair.

At this point, it genuinely feels like the app owner and organisers don’t care about the players or even the hosts. It’s all about the money, not the community.

If you’re in a remote area, don’t expect much — except high costs, last-minute cancellations, and frustration.

Fantastic

People are really friendly, strong and they also have great skills! What a game ⚽️

5 bintang, sangat disyorkan!

Mencari game dulu memang teruk. Grup chat tak habis-habis, dan orang cabut minit-minit akhir. Sekarang? Saya cuma buka Stranger Soccer, tengok game yang ada, book untuk join, dan saya dah locked in. Keseluruhan proses sangat lancar, dari tempahan hingga pembayaran, dan penganjur game pun memang mantap. Serius, ini memang game-changer.
