Hey, guys!
We're thinking about having a friendly(ish) football match during Fanfest. Before we can nail this down, however, we need to know if we can get enough players to sign up for it. Let us know in the comments if you'd be interested in playing, and what you'd like to see in an event like this.
11 vs 11? Smaller scale? We're still very much open to ideas!

Since it's in March, and we plan on having plenty of snow, I think it should be inside :P (I'll join if it's inside or on the small field :D)

I think with the average size of eve players, we should do an American Football match, and not a soccer one... Just saying... |

Not sure giving players a free shot at Devs is a good thing, but Greyscale is gone, so it may be OK |

This would be soccer, and we are aiming towards booking a full size indoor AstroTurf pitch.

We used to have a staff vs pupils football match when I was at school. The staff used to kick the crap out of the pupil team - great fun for us spectators . If similar levels of violence are expected for the Fanfest match can you ensure its covered in the stream.

Streaming it may be hard since it will most likely take place on the Thursday, March 19th, and will be pretty far from the actual venue. We will look into it, though. We will at the very least record it, and show the highlights. This only happens, however, if we can validate the idea with interest through this thread

As someone that has filmed football matches before I'm more than willing to be flown out to Iceland at CCP's expense and use their kit to film the match to save the Eve TV guys the extra work and edit it down to a reasonable highlights package.
And no this isnt me trying to blag free tickets, accommodation and air fare to fanfest....
edit: yeah it totally is actually! |

Twice I've watched the mighty Scotland play and beat Icealnd in Iceland (Kevin Kyle even scored), so it would be a wonderful idea. alas moving fanfest to start of year means my attendance hasn't been possible (married with kids = march before I get out of the red) since.
I would even bring my 7 year old adidas Predators, although getting them through custom, due to their EXPLOSIVE shooting ability may make it difficult. , |

Outdoors, none of this indoors stuff. Could make it rugby as well lol.
im down for a game of football ;) also willing not to be sent off within 10 mins as well. Could make this more fun as well by adding random things in as well ( mobile walls for free kicks, made from real bricks ) ext ect, half time pints and shots ;)

Sure you can. Give it a shot... it works for us Americans :)
I'd love to play, but for two things... I'm 20+ years beyond high school prime soccer-playing fitness, and I'm probably not going to fanfest.
Other than that, hell yeah, great idea!
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

Sounds fun, consider me signed up. Also at least 2 corpmates would like to participate as well.
If it's recorded, it would be fun to see a coach on each side yelling a bit. A CSM for the players? ... Hillmar for the devs? :D... even small PvD would be fun.
I find 5on5's on smaller sized fields a bit more personal and action packet. We can quickly change players like in icehockey to keep up the match speed and have more people participate. How ever you prefer, I'm looking forward to it.
PS: we are swiss, we tend to make good football fights against icelandic volks :) |

Well, I play five-a-side on a regular basis as a goalie and play midfield on the 11-a-side too. Not EPL-level mind though I like to think I can give Jack Colback a run for his money (clue to my team affiliations...)

I would so be good for this, indoor or outdoor. Football (American soccer) in the snow is pretty fun too in case nobody has tried it before.
I just need to know before hand so I can make sure to pack my cleats and goalie gloves, if anyone else more amazing in goal doesn't volunteer first. I used to be a pretty decent keeper, then I blew out 1 shoulder during a game, couple years later ended up tearing some ligaments in the other shoulder and had surgery, so not as good and quick as I was in my younger years but definitely hoping this happens as it could be a lot of fun.
I was thinking about trying to do some hiking, but then realized there might still be a lot of snow still around. So packing everything into a single carry on might be a bit more of a challenge now.
And I can get my brother to play too, occasionally I will sucker him into playing on my Friday night indoor league when we are going to be short on players or have no subs... shoot, almost forgot, game in 2 hours. Thanks for reminding me random dev video I just watched. |

Yes, bring cleats and whatever gear you need for a game! This goes for everyone that is interested! We will be making efforts to make sure that this reaches as many as possible before they arrive in Iceland so that we can have at least 20 players with gear ready to sign up on the opening day. We are hoping to have it full size with unlimited subs, but we will adapt depending on signups and general preference.

Jeez, I REALLY wish I could get to fanfest- I've never gone and this year seems like it's going to be the best one yet!
It's my favorite sport- I'd love to play! (Can I be invited as a Jovian ambassador? ) At least make sure it's in the stream if it goes through!
And jeez, I really wanted to be there for the eclipse- if only this was all happening in 2016, then I'd be there for sure

Interested, but mostly depends on the when and the height of the snow.
I don't know the facilities in Reykjavik but indoors might be better and also easier to fill the teams
edit: or in Laugardalsv+¦llur where we can play on turkish or dutch tears. |

Can any Reykjavikian post an estimate cost of gear and where we could get it? My luggage space will be unusually limited and since this event is uncertain, I'd like to consider the 'buy on demand' option. After all, we are rich space ship commanders *cough*, right? |

Very expensive... probably at least double what you'd pay in your country. It would probably be cheaper to just pay the fee for an extra bag

Not that I would need to really get another pair, I have half a dozen already.
Anyhoo I also thought, now maybe once this gets more developed, are we going to have a team color or t-shirts for each team? Cause playing with a rainbow of colors on the field becomes slightly taxing for those of us not so young people keep track of which team the rest of the people on field are on. |
