Football was never hard to love.
It was hard to organise.
Tanafos is an Abu Dhabi-based football platform that brings public games, pitch bookings, shared payments and players into one place.
Why Tanafos?
From “shall we play?” to kick-off.
Organising a match used to be scattered across calls and group chats: finding a pitch, confirming players, collecting each share and keeping everyone updated. Tanafos turns that work into one clear journey—find a game, book a pitch, pay your share and play.
- 01JoinA public game without bringing a full team.
- 02BookA pitch that fits your group and schedule.
- 03PlayWith every detail kept in one place.
