A few quick questions
Sending it is an enquiry, not a booking. Nothing is confirmed until you have agreed the venue, the date and the price.
Where do you want to play?
Pick as many areas as work for you. The more you pick, the more pitches we can look at.
The short answer
Looking for a team social in London that isn't the pub?
Play a football match against another company. Pick the areas and date that suit you, 5, 7 or 11-a-side, and whether you want a referee or filming. Secta finds the opponent, books the pitch and comes back with a price, often within one to two weeks.

The hard part of a company match has never been the football. It is finding another team at the right standard, a free pitch on a night that suits both sides, and someone willing to referee. That is the part we take off your hands.
It works as a first outing for a new squad, a match against a client, or the place to settle an argument between two departments.
How it works
From a few taps to kick-off
Build your match
Pick one area or several, a rough window or an exact date, the format and who you want to play. Add a referee or filming if you want them.
We find the opponent
Another company at a similar standard, from a particular industry if you like. Or bring your own: a client, a partner, or the office next door.
We book everything
Pitch, referee and kick-off, confirmed with both teams well ahead of the day. You get a venue, a date and a price before anything is booked.
Turn up and play
Ninety minutes of bragging rights. If you chose content, our crew films it and you get the highlights to share.
Who it is for
One match, three good reasons
Teams testing the water
Not ready for a full season? A friendly shows you whether the squad turns up before you commit to a league.
Client and partner matches
Ninety minutes on a pitch does more for a relationship than another lunch. You bring the opposition, we run the match.
Internal grudge matches
Sales against marketing. London against Manchester. Split your company in two and settle it properly, with a referee.
What we sort
Everything except the football
The pitch
A 3G pitch booked at a venue that is fair and convenient for both teams, confirmed well ahead of kick-off.
The opponent
A fairly matched company team, found by us, or full coordination with the opposition you bring.
The referee
A qualified referee if you want one, so the game stays fair and the throw-in debate stays short.
The content
Team photos or full coverage with a highlights film and social cutdowns, from the crew that films our leagues.

Questions
Friendly Finder FAQs
How does the Friendly Finder work?
Answer a few quick questions: which areas suit you, a rough window or an exact date, the format, who you want to play and whether you want a referee or filming. Send it to us and we come back with a venue, a kick-off time and a price. It takes under a minute.
Does sending my match commit us to anything?
No. Sending your match is an enquiry, not a booking. Nothing is confirmed until you have agreed the venue, the date and the price with us.
How quickly can you arrange a friendly?
We can often turn a friendly around in one to two weeks, depending on venue and referee availability. Three weeks or more gives us more flexibility on kick-off time and location.
Can you find us an opponent from a particular industry?
Yes. Choose "Find us an opponent" and tell us the sector. Property, advertising and tech teams all play with us, so a match against people you would like to meet is often possible. Leave it blank and we simply find a fair, well-matched game.
Can we play a client or split our own company into two teams?
Yes to both. Bring a client or partner as the opposition and we run the match, or play an internal game between departments or offices. Either way we book the pitch and handle the logistics.
Do we need a referee?
It is up to you. A qualified referee keeps the game fair and moving. Self-refereed games cost less, but they also reliably end in an argument about a throw-in.
Can you play outside London?
Most of our matches are in London, but pick "Outside London", tell us the city, and we will look at what is possible near you.
