01How it works
Grab a spot. Show up. Find your people.
Four moves. Zero performance. The whole thing is designed so showing up is the only skill required.
01
Grab a spot
One of 128, $55 flat, a couple of taps. No profile, no bio, nothing to perform — just your name.
02
Show up (alone is fine)
Almost everyone comes solo their first time. You're put on a team the moment you arrive — strangers for about five minutes.
03
Play 5–6 chill games
A casual one-day tournament. Every skill level, mixed teams, low stakes. If you can jog and laugh, you're in.
04
Stay for the hang
The football's just the excuse. The hangout after — food, drinks, a new group chat — is the whole point.
The thesis
Eye contact. Shared sweat. The moment after a good pass. Not an app, not a feed — a field, a ball, and people who showed up on purpose.
Human currency — the only currency AI can't print.
03The format
A casual one-day tournament.
Not a league. Not tryouts. One relaxed day of pickup football — everyone sorted into easy, mixed teams so you actually play, and nobody rides the bench.
5–6 chill games
Short, casual matches across the day. Enough to feel it tomorrow, not enough to need a physio.
Every skill level
Never played? Played in college? Doesn't matter. Teams are mixed on the day so it stays fun for everyone.
Come as you are
No team, no kit, no clique required. Roll up solo, and you'll leave with a group.
Then the World Cup
When the final whistle goes, we throw on the World Cup 3rd-place game and watch it together — food, drinks, and the group chat that outlives the day.
04Matchday
One field. One day. 128 people.
A full day of casual football and the hangout that follows. Come alone — you won't leave that way.

07Questions
Good. Ask them.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, email hello@vivapraesentia.com. We read everything.
Is this competitive?
No — casual by design. 5–6 chill games, mixed teams, every skill level. We keep it fun, not cutthroat. Want a serious league? That's Viva Praesentia. This is the come-as-you-are lane.
Is this a dating thing?
No. It's about meeting genuinely good people through football — your crew, your community. Real connection, zero dating-app energy.
Do I need to be good at soccer?
Not even a little. If you can jog and laugh, you're in. It's pickup, not tryouts — the point is showing up, not stat lines.
Can I come alone?
Please do — most people do. You're put on a team the second you arrive, and by the second game you won't know who came solo.
How much is it, all in?
$55 flat. That's the whole day — 5–6 games, the after-hang, and the World Cup 3rd-place game on the big screen. No tiers, no add-ons, no surprise fees at checkout.
Why July 18?
It's World Cup final weekend — the one stretch of summer the whole world is glued to football. Instead of just watching, we're turning that energy into something real: an actual field, actual people, an actual game.
How do I sign up and pay?
Tap 'Get your spot,' fill in a few quick details, and pay by card — secure checkout through Stripe. Your spot is held the second you pay.
What if I can't make July 18?
Vote for your city. We choose the next dates by demand — 30 votes puts your city on the calendar, and you'll be first to know.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. Grab your spots together — the best days grow by word of mouth.
Who's behind this?
