Where talent is born. Where legends are made

What is Pelada Futebol?

“Pelada” is the Brazilian Portuguese word for an informal, street-style, pickup soccer game. The Pelada is where imagination, creativity, and flair reign supreme. There are no tactics, no coaches, no fancy equipment, no uniforms, and most importantly no excessive pressure to win. Players are free to play, experiment, and simply have fun playing the game we all love.

  • RETURN TO THE ROOTS OF FUTEBOL

  • PASSION, JOY, CREATIVTY, FLAIR

  • WHERE LOVE FOR THE GAME IS GENERATED

What is the mission of Pelada Futebol?

Our mission is to give young athletes a space to play soccer and express themselves without any pressure, expectation, or politics. At Pelada Futebol we believe that the best and purest way of learning soccer is simply playing and enjoying the game. Young athletes, when left on their own to play, will naturally learn on the field what works and what doesn’t work. The street-style informal soccer that is played all around the world in talent factories like Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, France, and England is missing from the soccer culture of the United States. 

Our mission at Pelada Futebol is to give young athletes a taste of the pure joy and fun of these small-sided friendly games.

Pelada Futebol is where pure love for the game and competition is generated, and where talent and skill is born.
