Business Owner (Licensee), Chicago

Passionate about football (soccer) and entrepreneurship?
Stranger Soccer is expanding into key cities worldwide, and we are looking for a License Owner to establish and run the Stranger Soccer business in Chicago.

This is not a traditional role — it is designed for individuals who want to build, operate, and grow their own venture. It is ideal for someone entrepreneurial, driven, and deeply passionate about football, who wants to make the game more accessible in their city.

• Execute creative marketing and sales initiatives (both digital and on-the-ground) to grow your player base

• Manage game operations to ensure a consistently great customer experience that drives repeat participation

• Leverage the support, systems, and expertise provided by our Singapore headquarters, including operations and technology

What We’re Looking For

• A strong passion for football and connection to your local football community

• Experience in business, management, or customer-facing roles

• An entrepreneurial mindset (prior startup or business experience is a plus)

• Ownership mentality with the drive to build and scale a business locally

• A results-driven attitude — earnings are directly tied to your performance, effort, and business success

About Stranger Soccer

Football is the world’s most popular sport, with over 3.5 billion fans across 200+ countries — yet many people don’t play regularly. Stranger Soccer changes that by making it as easy to play football as going for a jog or hitting the gym.

Through our mobile app, players can browse games, book instantly, and show up to play.

Born in Singapore, Stranger Soccer is now open in 10+ cities around the world, with over 100,000 games run. We continue to grow and are accepting applications from license partners who want to bring Stranger Soccer to their city. Whether you call it Fussball, Fútbol, Calcio, or anything else, the world now awaits.

Our Mission

To make playing football as easy as going for a jog.

Our Vision

A world in which playing football is as popular and widespread as watching football.
