Fancy a game with friends, without having to put up with the Parisian weather? Find out more about the various soccer halls in and around Paris.
It doesn't matter what color jersey you wear, how many juggling tricks you can pull off, or how good a goalkeeper you are: as long as the passion is there, many gyms are happy to welcome you for your soccer matches.
Soccer is the favorite sport of many French people, and remains the most practiced sport in France, with over two million club members, according to the Fédération sportive du soccer. Perhaps you too are a fan of the round ball... But you don't want to play the sport regularly in a club.
But without a club, is it impossible to play and compete? Of course not: there are plenty of facilities where you can play with your friends, or even join an unfamiliar group, for 30 minutes or an hour of fun and exercise.
It's worth noting that indoor soccer often differs from the kind you see on TV: indoors, you play futsal, five-a-side soccer played on a pitch the size of a handball court, with a slightly smaller ball.
Whether you're the next big thing in French soccer, or just want to have some fun with your friends, discover indoor soccer halls near you, in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.
