The football app for Amsterdam that
replaces the group chat.
Organize your weekly game, track who's in, and fill open spots from players across Amsterdam — whether that's a Sunday session at Vondelpark, a five-a-side booking at Westerpark, or a proper league match with an AVB-affiliated club. All in one free app, no more counting replies in a group chat.
Vondelpark has hosted pickup football since long before there were apps for it — FC Urban's very first-ever game was played there, and Sunday sessions still fill up fast. Amsterdamse Bos, roughly three times the size of Central Park, has room for football among its many other pitches. And when the rain moves in, which in Amsterdam is often, plenty of teams just shift the game indoors to zaalvoetbal instead of calling it off.
Sound familiar?
"Who's in for Tuesday?"
You send one message and get buried under 40 replies. By Thursday, you still don't know if you've got enough for a five-a-side at Westerpark or a full squad heading to Zeeburgereiland.
No-shows ruin everything
Someone says "I'm in" for the Sunday slot, then doesn't turn up. You're stuck playing 5v4 on a pitch you already paid for, with no time left to find a replacement.
Finding new players is impossible
You moved to Amsterdam, or your usual group fell apart. Football happens all over this city — Vondelpark on Sunday mornings, Westerpark, Zeeburgereiland — but none of it is visible unless you already know someone in the right group chat.
The organizer does all the work
One person chases everyone for confirmations, books the pitch, checks the forecast for the third time that week (Amsterdam gets rain more days than not), and counts heads. Every. Single. Week.

Football on Wapp — FAQ
Where can I find people to play football in Amsterdam?
Casual football in Amsterdam happens all over the city — Vondelpark hosts FC Urban's weekly Sunday pickup games (the very first one was played there), and Westerpark, Volewijck in Noord, and Zeeburgereiland all see regular five-a-side action too. Wapp won't just point you to a location - open the Around Me map to see actual games, teams, and players nearby, and request to join or start your own.
Can I use Wapp for 5-a-side, 7-a-side, and 11-a-side?
Yes. When you create an event, you set the max number of players. Wapp works for any format — from a five-a-side booking at a spot like Westerpark to a full 11v11 amateur match for a KNVB-affiliated club like AFC or AVV Zeeburgia.
How do I find football games near me?
Open the "Around Me" map in Wapp. You'll see every open game, team, and player in Amsterdam. Tap any pin to see details and request to join.
Is Wapp free for football teams?
Yes. The core app — creating events, managing your squad, tracking attendance, and finding games — is completely free. Basic squad tools will always remain free.
Can I manage multiple football squads?
Absolutely. Wapp lets you create multiple squads under one club. Dutch amateur football has long run separate Saturday and Sunday senior teams at the same club — Wapp handles that split just as easily as training groups, reserves, or any other roster you need to manage independently.
How is this better than a WhatsApp group for football?
WhatsApp is a messaging app. Wapp is built for sport. When your Sunday game at Vondelpark gets rained out for the third week running and the squad shifts to a zaalvoetbal hall instead, you get a new event with a live headcount — not fifty messages arguing about which sports hall has room.
