• Being able to watch all of the biggest football matches is possible through the extensive coverage on sports channels, and the same can be said for betting on those same fixtures through the masses of betting markets on bookmaker websites. But for those who just want to take part in a fun activity which doesn’t need any money to be staked, there’s not quite as many avenues to take.

    These free-to-play sports games come in many different forms, with some bookmakers even providing their own like the Soccer Saturday Super 6 and Fantasy Premier League, but there’s also the option to play a vast selection of football quizzes where you’re able to guess a whole host of different outcomes within a set time. Most punters who are visiting a specific bookmaker website are looking to place a bet on their favoured sport but it’s surprising how fun a good football quiz can be, with it being a welcomed alternative that doesn’t need a single penny spent in order to take part.

    Different types of football quiz

    While you would typically look on bookie websites and apps for anything football-related, there are some places which provide an even larger number of quizzes with varying ways to enter in your answers and loads of options for sub-categories to work with. The primary type of football quiz is based on statistics, where it’s possible to guess the top goalscorers in specific countries, leagues and nations. This also includes football brain teasers, where you have to identify players who were able to take the most-amount of appearances for their football club or the number of wins a football manager took in charge of a chosen football team.

    Websites who look to capitalise on providing specialised football quizzes will take what you’re able to guess to the next level. This is seen on the Quizzes page on Oddschanger, where it’s possible to take on a football quiz for practically any subject, with players, teams, leagues and countries across the world all included. As with most websites who want to cater to their followers, these quizzes are built based on the demand of those who are playing them, so there’s always the chance to create another if they find a new angle.

    When major tournaments like the World Cup, European Championship, Champions League or Europa League come to an end, you’ll be able to find quizzes which summarise all of the key events into one massive brain teaser. This is one of the most basic forms of football quiz as it’s made up of football trivia and general knowledge, but it works well in being entertaining to more people through being more open with the questions that are included. The final form of quiz focuses on players from football teams in years gone by, where you need to work out every player in a memorable setup, whether it’s a Champions League winning team, or a notably poor starting eleven from an infamous time in football history.
