Bubble Football in Salvaterra de Miño

Context Bubble football is a dynamic sport that blends traditional football with the use of inflatable bubbles that protect players’ torsos and heads during collisions. In Salvaterra de Miño, a municipality in Pontevedra, this activity takes place on a specially adapted outdoor field with facilities including changing rooms and showers. The fresh air of the Galician countryside and the spacious layout create an ideal atmosphere for play, where the muted sound of bubbles dampens the impact of collisions.

The experience During a one-hour session, participants enter inflatable bubbles that allow safe running, bumping, and rebounding. After a brief explanation of rules and a warm-up, a referee oversees the match, maintaining pace and flow. The constant sensation of bounce and protection when receiving impacts is balanced with the goal of scoring in a field equipped with goals and a ball. The wind carries the scent of fresh grass, mingling with muffled laughter from inside the bubbles.

For whom This activity is suitable for people over 8 years old with sufficient mobility who enjoy moderate physical activity and controlled contact. It’s ideal for friend groups, bachelor parties, and families with children who meet the physical requirements. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility, claustrophobia, or those who avoid physical contact.
