Out of this world football - introducing Moon United
Calling all football fans and players, sports enthusiasts, space explorers, designers, innovators, and those who just love being creative, exploring, and having fun! We’ve partnered with some amazing space and football experts, to help us literally, launch football out of this world!
Football is the most popular sport on the planet. But what happens when humans eventually swap Earth-living for out-of-space accommodation? With the 2025 Lunar mission making space habitation one step closer and all eyes on the Lionesses this summer, we wanted to find out just how feasible it would be to take the beautiful game to space and whether there’s a future for Lunar Football. Pretty cool, right?
Please note that our Moon United competition is now closed, however, you can still explore how we could play football on the Moon with our fun space and sports activities and the new Lunar Football Rule Book – check out the links below!
