Berlin Indie Football Festival 2026
TALKS • PANELS • WORKSHOPS • EXPO • TOURNAMENT
Berlin Indie Football Festival is two days, 20+ speakers from around Europe, and zero corporate nonsense. Real people from the DIY football world sharing what they've built, what they've learned, and where the game is going next.
Held on 10-12 July, 2026, it promises to be a special weekend.
Saturday, 11 July: Conference (10-7pm) — talks across two stages, workshops, expo/market with photography, art and football culture. Held at Colosseum Kino Berlin.
Sunday, 12 July: Indie World Cup (12-6pm) — a mixed-gender football tournament featuring participants and speakers, held at Kurt-Ritter-Sportplatz in Friedrichshain.
IMPORTANT: If you'd like a chance to PLAY in the tournament on Day 2, contact Andrew at [email protected] to see if we can fit you in.
