🚨 Important Announcement: 5Aside Launch Update 🚨

Hey everyone,

We know today was meant to be the big day, and we’re just as excited as you to finally launch 5Aside! However, we have an incredible opportunity to get featured on the App Store – meaning huge visibility and a chance to put 5Aside in front of thousands of players who would love to join in.

This nomination process could take up to three weeks for review, and while we didn’t plan for this delay, we truly believe it’s worth it and an opportunity that's too good to be missed. Being featured would be a game-changer for the community and help 5Aside grow in ways we never imagined.

In the meantime, we’re making sure you don’t miss out! Starting next week, many of you will be able to use the final test build, so you can start playing, organising games, and getting stuck in.

When the official App Store version drops, switching over will be easy - just simply download the official release from the App Store. There will be no loss of data, no reset, just a smooth transition to the official release. All you will have to do is sign in again and you're away.

We appreciate your patience and support! This isn’t just an app—it’s a movement for grassroots football, built with you, for you. The wait will be worth it. 🙌⚽

Stay tuned for updates! 🚀

March and April 2025 will see the first of the 5Aside 11v11 official matches, and Widnes & Liverpool will be ground zero for this new chapter.

🎟️ What’s included with each ticket?
⚽ A place in the game, just turn up and play!
🟢 A certified referee to keep it fair (we know it’s casual, but this way you can just crack on with the game!)
🍔 Food and a drink at a local pub or eatery after the match to celebrate (venue details TBC, but talks are in full swing!).

These events are more than just a game—they’re a chance to connect with other players, enjoy a proper match day experience, and share stories over food and drinks afterward.

Why Widnes & Liverpool?
We’re starting here because of the incredible local football community, plus, it’s where 5Aside originated too.

This is just the beginning. As the year progresses, we’ll be bringing these 11v11 matches to even more locations across the UK.

💬 Interested in taking part? Let us know in the comments or tag your team to spread the word.

Places will be limited, so stay tuned for ticket announcements! You’ll find all the information and everything else you need in advance, posted of course, on the 5Aside app.

2025 is going to be a massive year for grassroots football, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick things off here in Widnes & Liverpool first. 🎉

⚽ How do you organize your 5-a-side matches?

We know it’s not always easy finding players last-minute, sorting payments, tracking match history… it can be chaos. That’s why we built 5Aside: the app that takes all the hassle out of organizing games.

Here’s what you can do with 5Aside:
✅ Find local players to fill spaces when your squad is short.
✅ Randomize your teams with a built-in team generator (60+ team icons included!).
✅ Pay subs directly in the app, and let admins track who’s paid—no more awkward IOUs.
✅ Celebrate your MVPs with post-match accolade voting.
✅ Create public or private groups to chat, plan, and relive the action.

🎉 With 80+ venues already onboard, we’re ready to transform the way you play casual football. But this is just the beginning—new features are on the horizon, shaped by your feedback.

💬 What’s the one feature you’d love to see in our app? Drop your ideas below—we’re building this for YOU!

Tag your team mates and get ready to join the action on January 31st, 2025!

Our 5Aside App (Version 1.0.0) will be launching on the UK iOS and Google Play stores on January 31st 2025.

There's a lot packed into the first build and there is so much more we want to add over the course of 2025.

We've already got the ball rolling with partners on the Official 5Aside Hosted 11 v 11 Events, meaning your ticket gets you; a spot in the game, a qualified referee for the match, and some grub & a drink after the final whistle at a local tavern. Every event will be a belter of a day, and it's one the whole family can enjoy too!

Be sure to checkout the News & Roadmap sections inside the app so you're always up-to-date, but also so that you can vote on upcoming topics/ developments. That way, we can see what means the most to our community, and we can plan development work & releases around what is wanted most by the players!

Stay tuned!
