Set up in under 10 seconds, packed away just as fast.
The Samba 5ft x 3ft aluminium folding football goal is built for coaches who want the session to start on time, every time.
Every grassroots coach knows the feeling. Half the session gone before a ball has been kicked. This goal comes straight out of the boot, unfolds and clicks into place, so your players are on the ball while the flask is still warm.
The 50mm aluminium frame keeps the weight down to 11kg without giving up strength. One person can carry it, pitch it and move it between drills without help.
Built size is 5ft x 3ft (1.52m x 0.91m) with a 74cm depth, the recommended goal size for FA 3v3 small sided games. It earns its place in target practice, 2v2, 1v1 and finishing drills at every age group.
Use it on grass, astroturf, sand, tarmac or a sports hall floor. No anchoring needed, so setting up on a hard surface is as simple as setting up on the training pitch.
Folded flat it drops to 100cm x 75cm x 10cm, which fits in the boot of most family cars and stores flat against a garage wall between sessions.
The velcro fitted mesh net takes the sting out of a shot and lifts off the frame in moments. Replacing a damaged net mid season is a two minute job rather than a new goal.
Pick the net colour that suits your club, school or squad. Black, green, pink and red are all available from the drop down.
The goal is independently tested to EN-71, so it stands up to the safety checks clubs and schools are expected to make.
Mike Phelan spent a career at the top of the game, where equipment had to perform every single day. That is the standard we hold every goal on this site to, from grassroots training grounds to academy sessions.

Frequently asked questions
What size goal do I need for 3v3 football?
A 5ft x 3ft goal (1.52m x 0.91m) is the recommended size for FA 3v3 small sided games. The same size suits Under 7 training, finishing drills and garden use.
How long does it take to set up?
Under 10 seconds. The frame unfolds and clicks into position and the net stays attached by velcro, so there is nothing to thread or clip on the pitch.
Does the goal need anchoring down?
No. It is freestanding and can be used on grass, astroturf, sand, tarmac or indoor floors without anchors. Weights or pegs are worth adding in strong wind.
Will it fit in my car?
Folded flat the goal measures 100cm x 75cm x 10cm and weighs 11kg, which fits in the boot of most family cars.
Can I buy a replacement net?
Yes. The 5ft x 3ft velcro mesh net is available separately, along with frame spare parts, so a damaged goal does not mean buying a new one.
Is it suitable for children?
The goal is independently tested to EN-71. As with any goal, children should be supervised and nobody should climb or swing on the frame.
