kickabout

Informal football game

A kickabout is an informal game of football (soccer), typically improvised and without strict rules or teams: We had a kickabout in the park after work.

The term is primarily British.

It suggests casual, recreational play rather than organized competition—friends kicking a ball around rather than a proper match.
