About Ball Knowledge

Ball Knowledge is a small hub of free, browser-based football knowledge games. No accounts, no downloads — pick a game and start playing straight away.

Our games

  • 7-0-0 — spin for real World Cup squads from 2002 onward, draft a player into your XI each round, and find out whether your dream team could go a whole tournament unbeaten: 7 games, 7 wins, zero draws, zero losses.
  • Lineup — given a real match or tournament, place every starting player in their correct position from memory before the clock runs out.
  • Bracket — simulate the FIFA World Cup 2026. A real Dixon-Coles statistical match engine runs the full 48-team tournament, group stage through final, or thousands of Monte Carlo runs for each team's odds of winning it all.
  • Boardroom — a retro football club management game. Sign players, set your lineup, train your squad, manage the stadium and sponsors, and build a dynasty across multiple seasons of promotion and relegation.
