Soccer

Arguably the best game ever

An image of presented article text

I have been playing soccer (or football as we like to call it in Europe) for like gazillion years. I always liked playing it, not necessarily watching it, but playing it. And even today, I play and will play as long as I can.

I'm not a professional soccer player by any means, but I'm quite brilliant as an amateur - or at least I believe in that!

On a daily basis

For many years now, I have been playing soccer regularly. We have an amateur team of 16-22 people enrolled, and we usually play every Wednesday.

Usually, we play 7x7 or 8x8, so it is not a typical 11x11. Playing on a smaller pitch is still OK. We play indoors during winter and outdoors during the rest of the season.

The pitch field

We played on this pitch field for a very long time. This was pretty much a futsal game (5x5). Unfortunately, not the best place.

The Tournaments

From time to time, I play in soccer tournaments. In 2025, I played at the mBank Soccer Tournament, and in 2026, I played in another mBank Soccer Tournament. My Team and I did not win anything, but it was a lot of fun.

Me and the goalkeeper defending... the white shirt guy did not score. We won few matches, we did not win the tournament.

 

Tournament - the experience - AZS Umed Lodz.

The League

During my time at the DFDS, in 2017 we played in BSA leage. Well... we had last place. But we did our best anyway. I scored only one goal, at least something.
