Plei expands to Phoenix, AZ

It’s time to score big in the Southwest, we hope our Arizona ballers are ready 😤

They say the sun never stops shining here… we had to see for ourselves if it was true. ☀️

We begin our conquest of the Southwestern United States pickup soccer scene by proudly announcing our 19th market (and our third already this year 😆): Phoenix, AZ! 🏜️ This brings our state count up to 13, a strong number that we only plan on growing even further! In no time, we’ll be in nearby states like New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and many others, but we need your continued support to make it possible! 🙏

Can we just start by applauding the growing footy culture in this region? 👏

As we all know, the Beautiful Game is far from the most popular sport in the entire country, with basketball, baseball and American football taking the top spots. Naturally, it makes being a soccer player in a state like Arizona somewhat of a difficult endeavor. Having a well-known team in each of the Big Three sport leagues in the country doesn’t help much, either. 😅

There’s the Phoenix Suns boasting the trio of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal in the NBA. 🏀

You’ve got the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. 🏈

On the baseball side of things, the Arizona Diamondbacks rep the Valley of the Sun. ⚾

As far as professional soccer is concerned, the only thing that Phoenix have going for them is USL side Phoenix Rising FC, who actually managed to secure their first ever Championship trophy this past November. That sort of success is progress, but we want to see more. 👀

That’s where the Plei App comes in. 📲

Through the many facility partnerships that we will inevitably secure in the Greater Phoenix area, we hope to gradually convince new players to take to the pitch - as well as inspire returning players to lace up their boots again. The vision is to grow the beautiful game in the United States to one day match or even surpass the popularity seen across Europe, South America and beyond. 🌍🌎🌏

You might think we’re crazy, but we don’t mind you calling us that. 🙂

All this being said, let’s all welcome Phoenix to the #PleiFamily. ❤️‍🔥

To ease our way into the Phoenix pickup soccer community, we will start by partnering with a large, multi-sport facility known as American Sports Centers located in Avondale! You can read more about this facility in the next section. ⏭️

To introduce ourselves properly to all of our Phoenix ballers, we will be offering debut pickup games at American Sports Centers for just 5 bucks! 🤩 Sign-ups are available now, so download the Plei App from the App Store or the Google Play Store today! ⚽

Our missions of connecting as many people as possible through the game we all love and, more importantly, giving everyone access to playing on their own terms, are far from over.
