OUR STORY

I’m Charlie - Founder of Kickerbout.

​

For as long as I can remember, football has been one of the constants in my life. It's given me joy, friendships and something to look forward to every week (cue the Champions League music 🎶). It even led me into a decade of coaching and helping other people enjoy the game.

​

As I got older, normal adult life happened.

​

Work got busier, social circles shifted and playing regularly became harder to maintain. Football hadn’t stopped mattering - it had just quietly slipped out of the routine.

​

I realised I wasn’t the only one.

​

A lot of adults drift away from playing without ever really deciding to stop. Teams require commitment, the WhatsApp group becomes unreliable, and once work, family and everything else fill the calendar, football becomes surprisingly easy to lose.

​

That’s why I started Kickerbout.

​

I wanted to create the kind of football setup I would have wanted myself: a game you could rely on, a group that felt easy to join, and the freedom to play when life allowed.

​

That idea became Kickerbout - and it continues to shape how we build it today.

​

So whether football has gradually disappeared from your week, or you simply want a game you can keep coming back to, Kickerbout was started with people like you in mind.
