A Brooklyn-born indoor soccer company is bringing its cage-style 5-on-5 matches to San Antonio's northeast side, with a club planned for 6558 Campus Drive. The company has not announced when the doors will actually open. It also hasn't said whether this location is one of six new centers it previously said were scheduled to debut by the end of 2026.
The company behind the project, UNLMTD Soccer, was known as Socceroof until it rebranded on November 6, according to einpresswire.com. The brand traces back to 2019, when Socceroof opened its original location atop a former torpedo assembly factory in Brooklyn, as reported by CultureMap San Antonio. The San Antonio site sits among former distribution buildings on the city's northeast side. REBusinessOnline reported that M Padel and Socceroof signed industrial leases for 6558 E. Campus Drive and 6422 E. Campus Drive.
UNLMTD Soccer filed an application for a wine and beer retailer's license with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on October 30, per the CultureMap report. The company has not said whether the San Antonio club will include a bar and viewing area, even though most UNLMTD facilities elsewhere do include those features. CultureMap notes that a company representative did not immediately return a request for more information.
Small-Sided Games Built for Pickup Players
UNLMTD Soccer facilities are built around 5-on-5 cage-style matches, offering year-round indoor play that isn't subject to weather. The clubs also host leagues, tournaments, youth programs, and private events, per the dossier of facts tied to the CultureMap report. Co-founder Jonathan Lupinelli told Yahoo Sports that adult pickup games typically run around $10 or $15 per player.
The company says it was co-founded by Jean-David Tartour, Lupinelli, and Jérôme Meary. Tartour helped pioneer indoor soccer in France through Le Five, a chain that operates nearly 30 indoor centers across Europe, while Meary previously served as a European recruiter for Major League Soccer and Lupinelli played professionally for Girondins de Bordeaux and Real Sociedad, according to the facts underlying CultureMap's reporting.
Texas Expansion Lands Amid a National Soccer Surge
UNLMTD Soccer says it's accelerating its expansion into growth markets including Texas, California and the Midwest, per the company's rebrand announcement on einpresswire.com. The company's own release put its footprint at 12 operating clubs across seven major cities, while a separate report on its planned Austin facility, from myneighborhoodnews.com, described the chain as operating 13 clubs across New York, Boston, Montreal and Toronto. The two figures don't match, and neither source resolves the discrepancy.
The timing lines up with a genuine surge in American soccer interest. U.S. indoor soccer participation hit a record 6.6 million people in 2025, while outdoor participation reached 16.8 million, a 15.8% jump from the year before, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, cited by sfia.org. Google Trends searches for “where to play soccer” also hit an all-time high in 2025, the same report found.
Other Texas and East Coast Projects in the Works
San Antonio isn't the only Texas market on UNLMTD's radar. The company has an upcoming Austin facility planned for 10601 N. Lamar Blvd., Suite D, inside a 34,000-square-foot renovation of a former Jump USA space, according to myneighborhoodnews.com's reporting. That Austin project was expected to break ground on September 1, 2026, and wrap up by December 1, 2026, at an estimated cost of $1.5 million.
UNLMTD has also been expanding on the East Coast. The company was preparing to open a facility at 735 Broadway in Malden, Massachusetts, following an earlier South Boston location at 4 Alger St., according to Patch. Malden City Councilor Jadeane Sica said that facility was expected to officially open within about a week of her remarks, per the same report, which described plans for five-on-five fields, pickup games, leagues, field rentals, a bar and lounge, showers and lockers. None of those features have been confirmed for the San Antonio club.
