Soccer5

Soccer5 is football played within a 1-metre-high boarding all around the pitch, meaning the ball (almost) never goes out of play. This guarantees full-throttle football and pure spectacle!

Booking & Arenal App

  • Download the Arenal App from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Sign up with your email address and enter the code you receive by email.
  • Complete your details (a photo is optional) and set your preferences.
  • Allow notifications and choose your favourite club.

Done! You can only create an account in the app, not in the Web App.

Anyone with an Arenal App account. As the main booker, you can have up to 2 active bookings at a time (3 as an Arenalista). There's no limit on joining someone else's booking.

Up to 28 days (4 weeks) ahead. Every day at midnight, a new day is added to the schedule.

Usually it's one of these reasons:

  • You already have the maximum number of active bookings (2, or 3 as an Arenalista).
  • There's still an outstanding amount on your account, e.g. from a split bill.
  • Someone else has just booked the time slot.

Still not working? Contact your club.

Invite them via the app or share your booking with the share button. Anyone who accepts the invitation is added to the booking and can pay their share if you ticked 'Split the bill'.

Payments, credits & gift cards

Credits are balance in your wallet in the Arenal App: 1 credit is worth €1. Buy a credit bundle in advance and you get free credits on top. The bigger the bundle, the bigger your bonus. You can see the current bundles in the app.

Buying a bundle is never required: you can also simply pay per booking.

  • Tick 'Split the bill' when you book.
  • Invite the other players via the app or by sharing your booking.
  • They have until 2 hours after the end of the booking to pay their share.

Someone doesn't pay? Then the outstanding amount is charged to the booker's linked card. Without a linked card, your account is blocked until the amount has been paid.

Cancelling & vouchers

Yes, up to 8 hours before the start. Only the booker can cancel, via the app. You get the full amount back as balance in your wallet, regardless of how you paid.

Less than 8 hours' notice or a no-show? Then there's no refund.

Yes, until the booking starts. In the app, tap the cross next to your name. Whatever you've already paid goes back to your wallet.

The booker can never remove themselves, only cancel the entire booking.

Playing & on site

Football boots for artificial grass (short studs, AG/TF) or indoor sports shoes. Screw-in studs are not allowed.
