We offer everything from casual pitch bookings and competitive leagues to kids’ parties and our acclaimed Soccer Schools.

What our customers say about us
Take a look at some of the recent feedback from our customers
Great place for meeting for few drinks after playing 5 a side footie.
Also a great place to go before local or international footie games. Friendly, family-run football centre in the heart of Cardiff.

Cracking facilities and great staff/refs.
Playing 5 a side has really helped me get back into shape and the guys at Gôl do great work within the community. Da iawn.

Our son’s party with Gôl was fantastic! The team are efficient, helpful and friendly. The food provided was lovely and the coach who ran the party was great with the kids. Bonus points that we could have a Welsh-speaking coach too. I would highly recommend a party at Gôl for football-mad kids!

Our son did two weeks of their summer football camp and really enjoyed it. It runs from 8:30am – 3:30pm or 5:30pm. He came home very tired!
We will likely book again next year during the summer holidays.
