What is footbadle?

footbadle is a free daily football game built around the things a real supporter notices. A single player has a nationality, a club, a league, a position, an age, a transfer history, a home stadium and a place in a starting eleven — so we built six distinct daily puzzles around all of those angles. Every day brings a fresh set, covering the top divisions of eight major leagues: the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the Primeira Liga, the Süper Lig and the Eredivisie.

The puzzles are the same for everyone on a given day, so you can compare your result with friends. Your streaks and stats are stored privately on your own device — there's no account to create and no personal data to hand over.
