Three-sided football (often referred to as 3SF) is a variation of association football played with three teams instead of the usual two. Played on a hexagonal pitch,[1] the game can be adapted to other versions of football.

Unlike conventional football, where the winner is determined by the highest scoring of the three teams, the winner in three-sided football is the team that concedes the fewest goals.

It was devised by the Danish Situationist Asger Jorn to explain his notion of triolectics, which was his refinement on the Marxian concept of dialectics, as well as to disrupt everyone's general idea of football.
