Default Football in Riyadh

Hello. I am trying to get a regular game of football in Riyadh. Any night apart from Monday or Tuesday would be great. If anyone needs players, please let me know. Not the greatest player in the world, but hope the enthusiasm will make up for it

It's around 40C in Riyadh most evenings at the moment. You've as much chance of spotting a bikini clad unicyclist as you have of spotting a footballer.

I played in FAL all last summer sure some nights it was oppresive but we certainly werent the only ones playing. Also OP maybe go out to a place called Barcelona (i might have the name wrong, but i think it was called that) proper astroturf pitches. You could see what leagues etc or teams are available there
