A game-changing football skills park is coming to Southport 

Combining new structured skill-based challenges along with interactive football games, the new concept is designed for all players.

This spring, Ocean Plaza will launch Footy Nation with bespoke trials fitting for footy fanatics of all ages and abilities, offering a purpose-built, weather-proof environment. 

Operations manager at Footy Nation, Steve Allen, said: 

“We’ve reimagined the world’s most popular sport and brought it indoors to create a next-level football skills park like no other. We’re so excited to bring this new soccer gaming zone to life in Southport. 

“No more training on rainy pitches, this is a purpose-built centre designed to develop essential footy skills in a way that’s dynamic, competitive and, most importantly, fun.”

Featuring a series of football-based challenge games, including Match Ball, Curve Ball, Kick Ball, Spin Ball, and more, Footy Nation is designed to test different elements of the game, utilising accuracy and control, as well as reactions and techniques. 

As well as the main games area, Footy Nation also has merchandise stalls, a cafe bar, additional mini-games and a boot room. 

Steve added:

“It’s not just for kids, it’s for everyone. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a grassroots player or just want to have a kickabout with friends, anyone of any age or ability can come and have a go.”

“Footy Nation is about creating an environment where people can challenge themselves, compete with friends and enjoy the game in a different way. Southport is the perfect place for us to start this new venture.”

The venue will also cater for birthday parties, team-building events and family outings too, offering people the perfect chance to score their way to the top of the leaderboard.
