Idea name: Football hall in Riga
Problem
There are only two football halls in Latvia - both in Riga, but this doesn't satisfy the demand. Footballers in Riga are constantly facing a shortage of where to play, the situation is especially difficult in wintertime.
Solution
We want to create a unique football hall project in the Baltics, which will provide excellent conditions for enjoying playing football indoors all year round. There will be 7 mini-pitch football fields in the hall with high-quality artificial grass cover.
We will start in Pārdaugava, where there are no football halls at all - we have concluded a long-term lease agreement for the premises and attracted 40% of the project finances. We are open to cooperation to attract the remaining funding.
The football fields will be comfortable and safe to use for any age - there will be boards and a net around the field, which will ensure the constant presence of the ball in the game. As you know, running after the ball, if the field has no sides, often time is just a waste of time. Our goal is to create an environment where the customer gets an even better mood after visiting the hall than when he/she came to it.
In the evening time of the workweek, a babysitter will be provided to look after the amateur children, allowing them to play football. As well we plan to have a free sauna, parking lot, drinking water, entertainment area with PlayStation, board games, etc. An additional benefit is a fact that to enjoy the game it will be perfectly fine to have just 8 players and that's gonna make it easier for amateurs to complete a team.
I welcome suggestions on how to make the most important infrastructure of the hall - the football halls - more resistant to rapid wear and tear under heavy load conditions.
We have our eyes shining! We believe that this will be a great project that will make a significant contribution to both the health of football society and more joyful life!

During the hackathon, teams can solve the challenges set by the partners, as well work on own new or work in progress ideas.
If possible, we suggest the teams to find ways to adapt their solutions to the challenges set by the partners, as they are looking for teams to work together and start pilot projects after hackathon.
