Welcome to Fat Fives Football

Fat Fives Football was created from the ashes of a previous football league based in Aberdeen for men looking to lose weight, get fit and have fun playing football. We are a member-driven league that focuses on supporting our players in their weight loss and fitness journeys. We play our league matches weekly and play multiple 20-25-minute games per week.

Our weigh-in sessions happen before games kick off, and we work on a “no weigh, no play” policy and a “no play, no pay” policy. We don't charge our members for matches they don't participate in meaning we are a cost-effective alternative to membership-based fitness programmes. We provide all our services on a siple £5 per weekly session cost with a goal to keep our running costs as minimal as possible to ensure our league is affordable as possible for our players.

Our goal is to provide high-quality competitive football whilst supporting our players to achieve life-changing weight loss and health improvements. Our commitment to our members is to establish and maintain a local community of like-minded players and to oversee the management of facilities and equipment to play. All we ask from our members is to ensure they pay prior to the first weekly match kicks off, they are respectful on the pitch at all times and are committed to their weight loss efforts.

Since early 2023 we have maintained our impressive record of members consistently losing weight and a high retention rate of members in our league. Both of these aspects plus our players' fantastic commitment to supporting each other has made our league one of the fastest growing in the North East of Scotland.
