Fútbar is a new entertainment concept that brings people together to enjoy themselves over the universal, shared experiences of food, drink and sport. Fútbar is getting its start through hosting pop-up street soccer tournaments and events that feature street soccer games, local food trucks that serve a variety of global dishes and drinks, yard games, and other local vendors.
Check out our recap video from our launch event in August 2021 below!
Year-round, we host pickup street soccer around Nashville, TN. Find out more about that here.
Whether you call it fútbol, football, voetbal, 足球, soka, or something else, soccer is the world’s most popular sport. As such, the sport transcends language, culture, and differences — bringing folks together to have fun, whether they’re playing or watching the game.
Street soccer in particular is an exciting, inclusive, and smaller version of your traditional, full 90-minute 11v11 game. Historically, the term street soccer has been used in a variety of ways, whether in reference to some of the best players of all time growing up by learning the game literally on the street, or just some variation of soccer played informally, on any surface, with any given number of players. Today, street soccer is most often referenced as a small sided game (4v4 or 5v5) played on a scaled down court for a shorter period of time, which is how we play the game here at Fútbar.
This form of soccer is great for recreational or competitive play, as it’s accessible, high scoring, fast paced, and all players get many touches on the ball. More importantly, it's incredibly entertaining to watch and even more fun to play (no matter what skill level you’re at).
Fútbar is starting off as a pop-up street soccer tournament and event company, but will ultimately become a permanent, experiential entertainment venue with a global flavor, combining a unique dining and sports bar experience with street soccer. The first venue, born out of Nashville, will bring to life the true vision of the company — to be the premier destination for shared experiences over food, drink, and fútbol.
