About a month ago, I made a post here about a few casual football games we organise around Dublin.
To be honest, I thought a handful of people might show up.
Instead, we’ve met people from all walks of life people who had just moved to Dublin, people looking to get out of the house, people who didn’t know anyone, and people who simply missed having a kickabout.
Looking at this photo, it’s mad to think that most of these people were complete strangers not long ago.
What started as a football game has become something much more. New friendships, group chats, and familiar faces to look forward to seeing every week.
In a city where it’s easy to feel like everyone already has their own circle, it’s been genuinely heartwarming to see so many people connect through something as simple as football.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took a chance and came along. You’ve helped build something really special. ❤️
If you’ve been thinking about joining but weren’t sure, take this as your sign. You don’t need to know anyone, and you definitely don’t need to be the best player. Just turn up we’ll make you feel welcome. ⚽
