Street football is a type of association football, played 3-on-3 with small goals and a framed pitch of 10x15m. Matches are 8 minutes long and both teams play without goalkeepers.

The small team size, pitch and ease of play is optimal for teams of all skill levels and ages.

Anyone! We do have a recommended lowest age of 12 years, so that the level of all players in the youth group (12-15) is somewhat equal.

Furthermore, Medis Edition is a mixed tournament - requiring at least one woman and one man in each team.
