Looking for an amateur game to watch near you in Île-de-France? Every weekend, hundreds of football, basketball and handball matches take place just a short drive away—and they’re often top-notch, with an authentic atmosphere.
The snag? Finding them as a spectator used to be a real slog. Benjamin Sonet, a devotee of grassroots sport, had enough. He launched Autour du Terrain to fix the problem once and for all.
Its founder sums up the promise of this new platform:
“Local amateur sport near you, finally as easy to find as a Netflix movie.”
The principle is simple: type in your city or let the site geolocate you, choose your sport (football, basketball or handball), set a radius and a date range—and the site instantly displays all nearby amateur matches, sorted by distance. The data come directly from the official databases of the federations (the FFF, the FFBB and the FFHB), and are synchronized in real time.
