I used to play football with some friends here in Bahrain, but all stopped since last year, tried to gather them again but no way  :(

So any Ideas here or common interests??!!!

I haven't played Football for years, unfortunately I don't have any time for it as I'm usually working over the weekends.

I'm more into watching it rather than playing it ;)

Josnuggles

And it's too blinkin hot!!!!!!

Sherif nour

lol! no I don't have any suicidal tendencies:D
it's a covered air-conditioned playground

Josnuggles

Now why didn't you say so??? Lol.

Sherif nour

super lol :D
(So )thumb up Jo ;)

Josnuggles

Erm wabbling around a footy pitch really isn't for me hun. But maybe now that others know it's indoor and aircon they might take you up on it :-)

Sherif nour

Thank you Jo for your support!!!  lol

Sherif nour

Sherif nour

Sherif nour

Hi Eddie

Josnuggles

Weh hey, told ya people would be interested once they knew it was inside and air conditioned :-)

They are signing up for the Dilmun Club 5-A-Side team at the moment, I don't think you have to be a member to join either.

Sherif nour

Thanks for  the interesting info! gonna check it out

galamantek

& the air condition thing is not really an issue, we're adaptable, aren't we  ;)

Josnuggles

Sherif nour

You are most welcome!

@Eddie the team is ready now

Eddie123

Hey guys,

Unfortunately....I’ve got some bad news!!!!

The game will be postponed till next Tuesday 13/11/2012
since the Europe champions League will be going on this Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore; the team we planned to play against apologized coz they wanna watch the games!!!

Am really so Sorry, i tried my best, i know that u were all ready for it guys! however the good news: we made a team @ the end! 

Regarding your post(jpb63), that's really a wonderful idea, i'll call Sherif (Our Captain) tomorrow to see if we can arrange it! the problem is that we dunno if our team is capable of competing other teams since we neva played with each other; unless will join for fun (Losing) :)

Apologies for the bad news again :(

Rita2012

Hi guys,
I would like to assist in the game when it will start, I like football !  Only watching !!
I use to go to stadium in my country with friends and I really miss that :-(
Waiting for the news
Have a great day !

Hi guys,

I am following what your are doing and the great job that are doing Sherif and Eddie to make happen this football match.

I have also worked on my side and use my own network to gather people around a football match.

I found a soccer complex in budaya (Malaeb soccer complex, https://www.facebook.com/malaebsoccercomplex). I went to visit it and was really impressed by it! it is a great spot!

There are 5 mini soccer field (7 people per team) but i think we can play there if we are minimum of 10 (2*5), it just will be more physical :)

Price is 20 BD for one hour so it will be around 2 BD per person if we are 10, which seems to be affordable (can be decreased at 15 bd if we book monthly (once a week).

I did the booking for next tuesday (6th - tomorrow) and it was only possible to play at 10:00 pm. sorry for that, if we continue to play the week after i will try to get the slot at 9:00 pm.

The rendez vous point is at al jawad station in budaya at 9:30 pm (close to the highway when you come from seef district)

Let me know if you are interested, I will send you my phone number by private message.

Hope to see you tomorrow and sorry to inform you so late.

Cheers,

Julien

Juls397

Hi guys!

It would be great if we could play on a regular basis...(weekly)

Eddie and Sherif can you please let me know if your event next tuesday at arsenal staduim is a open event or you have already enough player?

I have find new guys interested and I need to let them know asap the date and time of the next match, and do the booking the get a better slot.

Juls397

Hi guys!

We will play Tuesday 13rd of november (10pm to 11 pm) and saturday 17th (9pm to 10pm) at malaeb soccer complex like we did last time.
In the futur we will try to keep the saturdays' slot.

New players are more than welcome!

Just let me know

Julien

galamantek

are you gonna meet @ 9:30 ?

ShazadAzam

Sherif you are a life saver, I have been looking to play football for over a year. If you guys still have room I would be up for a regular spot. I travel a lot as part of my job but here mostly on the weekends.

Like you I have struggled to find a regular bunch of people. i just cannot get a team together at work. However I can definitely get 3-4 regular players together.

Please Let me know what I need to do to get involved.

Cheers

Shaz
