Built for the new 3v3 format.
The Samba 3v3 aluminium folding football goal measures 4ft x 2.5ft (1.22m x 0.76m), the recommended goal size for Under 7 small-sided games in England.
If you run a grassroots squad, this is the goal that makes Saturday morning simple.
It unfolds and is match-ready in under ten seconds, with no tools and no assembly on the pitch.
The frame is 50mm outside diameter aluminium, so it stays light at 8kg while handling a full season of sessions in all weathers.
It folds flat to 81cm x 70cm x 10cm and fits in most car boots.
The velcro-fitted mesh net attaches and removes in seconds and takes the sting out of a hard shot.
Use it on grass, 3G, sand, indoor floors or the street.
Independently tested to EN-71, this goal reflects the professional standards Mike Phelan applied across a career at the very top of the game, now within reach of clubs and coaches at every level.

Frequently asked questions
What size goal is used for 3v3 football?
The recommended goal size for 3v3 football in England is 4ft x 2.5ft (1.22m x 0.76m). This Samba goal is built to that size for Under 7 small-sided games.
Is this goal suitable for Under 7 teams?
Yes. It is sized for the Under 7 3v3 format and is equally suited to 2v2 and 1v1 work with older age groups. Clubs commonly use a pair for match play and singles for shooting practice.
How long does it take to set up?
Under ten seconds. The frame unfolds by hand with no tools, and the net stays attached by velcro so there is nothing to thread on the pitch.
Is the goal sold as a single or a pair?
Each goal is sold singularly. Order two if you need a matched pair for 3v3 fixtures.
Will it fit in a car?
Yes. It folds flat to 81cm x 70cm x 10cm and fits in most car boots, which makes it practical for coaches travelling between venues.
Are spare nets available?
Yes. Replacement Samba nets, net clips and anchors are stocked in our spare parts range, so a worn net does not mean a new goal.
