text: Located out at the Corn Exchange you can reach World of Football by the airport bus or no from the centre of Edinburgh It has sheltered fiveaside pitches as well as sevenaside pitch The surface is a Desso Challenge Pro apparently which would be similar to astro if astro was covered in little particles of black rubber These bits of rubber are used to preserve the surface and allow the ball to bounce more naturally However they get everywhere in fact my flat is covered in them they fill up your shoes like sand at the beach Also in common with astro slide tackles are not recommended on this surface as the friction will cut open your knees World of soccer is a good option if you want to play fives with friends
