Prawn Football Invites Global Participation to Build Comprehensive Football Field Map
And sometimes, finding a pitch turns out to be harder than finding people to play with.
Prawn Football, a sport-tech startup for amateur footballers, was built around a simple idea: to give visibility and structure to players who play for the love of the game and carry football in their DNA. The platform offers AI-powered match analytics, performance tracking, and a global leaderboard, helping players stay connected to their progress regardless of where they play.
The Fields are Missing
When the team began developing a feature to help users find fields, they encountered a gap. Data from Google Maps and OpenStreetMap proved insufficient, often lacking details such as surface type, photos, or exact coordinates. In Brazil, for instance, just about 500 verified fields were listed — a surprisingly low number for a country known for its football culture.
To address this, Prawn Football is launching a global crowdsourcing initiative. From August 1 to November 1, players are invited to contribute to what aims to become the most accurate player-driven map of football fields. Participants can add known fields, specify conditions, and optionally share context or personal stories.
The most active contributors will win prizes from a $3000 pool — $1000 awarded in each of the three categories:
- For the user who adds the most verified fields
- For the most contributions from Brazil
- For the most liked field, as voted by the Prawn Football community
The resulting map will combine open data sources (OpenStreetMap, Google Maps) with verified input from amateur players worldwide. The goal is to create a functional, up-to-date tool for anyone seeking a place to play, wherever they are.
