Weekend Plans: 12 Football Turfs Across Mumbai You Can Rent Out To Get Your Sports Fix

If that sounds like a snippet from your childhood, we sympathise. The art of playing in Mumbai is not simply about sports but also sneaking past the car clogged lanes, grumpy neighbours and inhospitable arenas.

And that’s when you’re not taking uncertain weather, which would be a deal breaker for many though some would argue that it would present the perfect conditions for a messy game of football, into account.

The progression of growing up only means that the love for the game has to be repressed to make way for work, assignments and other less thrilling banalities while we bask in the glory of televised or live games to provide us our sporting fix.

And though the strong impulse to play is often (conveniently) quashed by excuses like ‘There just isn’t any space!’ we’re here to tell you it’s time you find a new excuse.

Homegrown dug out 18 football turfs, which you and your friends can rent out to never let the love for the “Beautiful Game” die out right across Mumbai.

Equipped with floodlights and FIFA-Approved turfs, they serve as perfect playing grounds for restless teens to working professionals who are looking to unwind and de-stress. And for the latter, it’s even open till pretty late at some of these outlets for the work hard, play harder variety. Go ahead, put your sneakers on.
