FFA (Football for All)

A platform that will completely transform Armenian football.

FFA is an app created for every football fan who wants to be part of the football community in Armenia (and beyond) and have a positive impact on the development of this sport in the country.

In recent years, amateur football has grown significantly in Armenia, yet many gaps still hold young players back and slow down the overall progress of football, both at the amateur and professional levels.

The Problem

Thousands of people in Armenia want to play football, but they encounter several key issues every day:

1. Difficulty with pitch booking: There is a serious problem with booking football pitches in Yerevan and the regions. People simply don't know where they can play, which pitches are free, when they are available, how to book them, and so on.
2. Difficulty finding teammates: Many people want to play but don't have enough players for a team. Sometimes they are missing 2-3 people for a game, and sometimes the entire team. People try to find teammates through social networks, but this is inefficient and time-consuming.
3. Difficulty with organization: Organizing a game requires numerous calls, messages, and arrangements. Who will organize it? When is it convenient for everyone? How much will it cost? Who will pay? All of this leads to people giving up on playing.
4. Lack of a football community: There is no single platform in Armenia where football enthusiasts can unite, share news, discuss games, or simply interact with like-minded people. Everything is scattered - across different Facebook groups, Telegram channels, and private messages. The amateur football community exists, but it is not organized.

Our Solution

FFA (Football for All) is not just an app - it is an all-in-one platform for football lovers and players. We unite everything in one place: from booking pitches to making new connections, from organizing games to discussing football.

FFA consists of three main components:

1. Football Community - The Heart of FFA

Here, all football enthusiasts can join, socialize, share their thoughts, and hold interesting discussions. It will include thematic channels, a centralized feed, personal profiles, private messages, and more.

2. Pitch Booking   

• All available pitches on one map, categorized by region.
• A visual calendar with available time slots.
• A simple 2-step booking process.
• Secure online payment.
• Instant confirmation and reminders.

3. Game Organization   

• Create a game: set date, time, location, skill level, number of players, and gather your team.
• Find a game: view all open games in your area.
• Join a team: send a request and wait for confirmation.
• Manage the team: organizers control who plays.
• Rate the players: leave feedback and ratings for future games.

Why is this Important for Armenia?

Community Development

FFA brings together people of different ages, professions, and backgrounds around a shared interest. New friendships and connections are formed here.

Economic Impact

• Pitch owners receive an organized flow of bookings.
• Pitch utilization becomes more efficient.

Development of Armenian Football 

Supporting amateur football naturally raises the overall level and contributes to the professional game.

Our Vision 

FFA is not just an application - it is a movement. We want playing football in Armenia to become effortless. We want to see thousands of games organized weekly on our platform, uniting people around a shared idea and driving positive change.

Armenia needs a strong amateur football infrastructure. This will inevitably influence the development of children's football education, youth involvement, and ultimately raise the level of professional football.

By supporting FFA, you are not simply investing in an application - you are contributing to solving the core problems of football communities in Armenia.

The Team

Behind the FFA initiative stands a small but highly dedicated team: football enthusiasts from the fields of technology, business, and community development who face the same amateur football challenges every week as our users.

We are building a platform that is both a technological solution and a community-building tool. We collaborate with stadium owners, amateur teams, and football groups, gather continuous feedback, and step by step create an environment that simplifies life for amateur players and strengthens football culture in Armenia.

We are investing all our energy and time into making the idea of “Football For All” a reality - not just in words, but up to the level of a tool used daily.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why should I switch to FFA if I already use football chats on WhatsApp or Facebook?

Your chats are great for staying in touch, but they are not a systematic football platform. FFA offers what chats cannot:

• Organized games: clear time, place, roster, participation confirmation, and reminders - fewer no-shows and cancellations.
• Pitch availability: see which pitches are available, when, and at what cost; link your game to a specific pitch.
• Your football profile: game history, statistics, and your role in teams - information that is lost in chats.
• Community: FFA unites amateur players, teams, and pitches, creating one centralized football environment instead of scattered private groups.

In short: a chat is a place to talk; FFA is a platform for playing, organizing, and developing football.

2. How does FFA help develop football in Armenia?

FFA’s goal goes beyond organizing games - we want football in Armenia to become more accessible, organized, and dynamic.

Here’s how:

• Supporting amateur football: we help street teams, amateur leagues, and friendly games become visible and systematic.
• More people start playing: when finding a game and booking a pitch becomes easy, more people participate.
• Better pitch utilization: pitch owners gain new players and teams, resulting in fewer unused hours and encouraging new investments.
• Data and visibility: information about games, pitches, and players helps understand where amateur football is growing and how it can be supported.
• Connecting players with clubs: over time, the platform can become a bridge between amateur players and academies or clubs.

All of this means FFA is not just an application - it is a football ecosystem that helps Armenian football take a step forward, starting from the amateur level.
