Where can you go to play organized football besides school?

There's like three leagues in my suburban area, so I imagine quite a lot.

I believe there's zero difference between sports and sports other than audience size and length of time the leagues have been around.

Now a single streamer playing a single player game and mostly engaging with the audience? That's a different matter, and probably more like drive time radio than anything.

Literally like everywhere. If you were American you could replace that with baseball or American football or basketball, or from somewhere else it could be cricket or rugby or something. Regardless of where you are in the world, it'd be harder to not stumble into something sports related than to avoid them. You could go to wartorn Haiti 0.0001 seconds after a hurricane and an earthquake and there'd be groups of people playing soccer on the rubble.

Organized? How exactly? "Organized" varies by regional law or context. If it's sponsored by a local sport union and the play is based around a set of rules, that would be organized enough for you, no? That's the assumption I operated off of.

Why does being "organized" matter in the first place? Something doesn't need to be professional league whatever for you to view it anyways. Neither sports nor video games.
