About
Buenos Aires Futbol Amigos is for those of you in Buenos Aires not content with merely watching or talking about the nation’s favorite sport but actually playing! Hour-long, 5-a-side games are organized throughout the week and playing levels vary from beginner to seasoned-pro. Games are usually competitive but always good-natured. You may also stick around for post-game beers, delicious asado's and more! We hope to see you on the pitch!

I stayed 5 months in Buenos Aires and discovered early the Buenos Aires Futbol Amigos thanks to the Lonely Planet! This association is awesome!!! They offer a lot of cheap football games!! Everybody can participate: it doesn't matter your sex, your level, your age or your country...
They often propose amazing event like playing against real professionnal football teams, doing a trip abroad or somewhere in Argentina... And every week, they organise friendly events, like going to a stadium to watch a football game of Argentina's league, meeting in a pub or a restaurant etc.
I want to thank specially Sylvain Coton for everything he did for me, and above all for giving me the extraordinary opportunity to go to watch a game of the World Cup in Brazil (France-Honduras)!
Sylvain and all the guys from BAFA, you're amazing!!!
QUE VIVA EL BAFA!!!
See you soon guys!

I am from the US and spent a semester in Buenos Aires taking classes and living with a host family. Fortunately, my roommate had the opportunity to intern for BAFA during our 4 months there. After meeting the BAFA crew and feeling the support/happiness on the pitch after my first game, I knew that BAFA would be a good place for me. Not only was I able to find a safe and fun place to play a sport that I love, but I met my closest friends in Argentina through BAFA. Between soccer games to asados to pub crawls to community outreach, I spent my favorite Argentine memories with the BAFA family. This group gives you the ability to meet friends from all over the world as well as locals who are able to show you the ropes. Skill levels of all kind are always welcomed on the field - as long as you have a good attitude! The BAFA motto is to always have fun and enjoy one another, an idea that couldn't be better exemplified by the incredible staff at BAFA. They are all extremely committed to their jobs and have the genuine motivation to do good in order for others to have fun. I couldn't recommend this attraction more! It was hands-down my favorite part of Argentina and is responsible for many of the lifelong friendships and memories that I hold in my heart!
I LOVE YOU BAFA! Sending so much love from the states. The gringas miss you guys! Can't wait to see you all again! Besos

I emailed about a playing/training opportunity for my 14 yr old daughter, but FC BAFA didn't offer any, but that didn't stop Anne Marie. She helped set up an hour training session for my daughter with Christian from CEFUT with some younger local boys. What a fun experience for my daughter and me!
Muchas gracias Anne Marie!

I spent 4-5 months living in Buenos Aires and most of my friends I made came from BAFA. David and Mike are great guys and really organize a fun yet competitive league. It was a great mix of locals and tourists and is highly recommended for anyone looking to play. Keep it up guys!

I been playing futbol since I have memory of my life and this 4 years I played with BAFA were the best time of my life, the more fun games that I ever played in my life. I lived 5 years in Buenos Aires and now back home in Ecuador the things that I most miss about Argentina is the futbol games with BAFA but specially the people that I play with there, friends I made there that now I even consider them as my brothers, my family! I have so many memories about BAFA and the people I met there, they really now how to make you have a great time in Buenos Aires.
BAFA is the place to be, people who you need to hang out when you are in Buenos Aires, you can't miss the opportunity to have a great time in this city!
Thanks to everyone from BAFA!!!

This is a great way to meet like-minded people from all over the world, make friends, and get a bit of well-needed exercise in at the same time. The football is fun - engaging, without ever getting out of hand - and the social events are a good laugh.

If you are between 11 and 21, you might be interested by the “Professional Camps” we organize with Racing, current champions of Argentina (you will find the information on our website bafuboltours).
You can lodge with the youth members of one of the most popular clubs in the country from 2 weeks to 1 month and train with them. It can be a good opportunity to show your skills and convince Racing coaches to play there.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to write to us via our website.
Thanks and best regards!

Hola a todos. Tengo un amigo que esta viniendo el mes que viene a Argentina. Le copa el futbol y le gustaria jugar. Es posible que pueda participar solo un dia? O debe ser por un lapso prolongado de tiempo? Espero sus comentarios. Desde ha, gravias de antemano por la ayuda!
Written February 23, 2015
Hola! Gracias por contactarnos :) Si, no hay problema si solo puede participar en un partido. Solo tiene que crear un usario en el sitio y las reglas para jugar. Despues de crear un usario va a poder ver que partidos hay (ubicacion, hora, etc) y elegir en cual partido le gustaria jugar. Solo avisarle que los partidos se llenan rapido a veces asi que mejor si se anote para un partido con unos dias de anticipacion ;) Cualquier otro duda o pregunta, mandanos un email desde el sitio. Muchas gracias y buenas vibras!!
