OK, so let’s hear the big news on the football event that Sportmeets will be holding on 29th April in Athens!

What’s happening?

As we are presenting Sportmeets at the Openfund Demo Day on Wednesday 28 April, we thought that the best way to show what Sportmeets does is to let it do what it is best at: organize a game of football! This will be the first-ever public meet held on Sportmeets and a pretty cool place to be on a Thursday night! Everybody’s invited!

What will it look like?

Football, great people and fun. We have a nice 5-a-side football pitch booked for Thursday evening and there will be 5 games of 20 minutes each, with short breaks in between. We’d like to see and meet quite a few of you there, so hopefully this will give everyone a chance to join us at the event at least for a while.

Where and when?

We will be playing on the Coco-Mat Field, close to the Kifissia train station. Here’s the location: 165 Tatoiou Str. Kifissia – http://bit.ly/d0Cvc8

A big thanks to Coco-Mat for having us there! Also, we’ll be happy to pick people up at the train station if needed, just let us know in your RSVP!

We will be meeting after 6pm and start the first game at 6.30pm. The games should finish around 8.30pm.

How to sign up?

The easiest way is to follow this link that will take you to the homepage of the OpenCoffee football crowd, where you can join the group and sign up for the football game at the time you prefer. If you are not on Sportmeets yet you’ll have to create an account first.

Do you feel like playing more than one game? Excellent! Just sign up to for several games then! And, once you’re at it, we’d really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on how you like the Sportmeets application!

Anything else?

Of course! We have a nice prize that travelled in a bottle all the way from Scotland to give out to the ‘MVP’ of the event. (Note that it’s not the ‘minimum viable product’ this time.) Whoever scores the most goals will be named the most valuable player and grab the prize!

So Miro and I, together with the Openfund guys, are looking forward to meeting you all on Thursday for a different kind of social event this time! Please, don’t forget to tell your friends and bring them along, too! You can also follow us on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss out on any updates or annoucements!
