Is this your kind of game?

For players who want a complete seven-a-side match with accessible controls, a national-team tournament and training drills.

Controls at a glance

Arrow keys or WASD move, Shift sprints, J passes or switches, K shoots or tackles, U plays a through ball or presses, and I chips or slides. Turn a phone or tablet sideways for the right stick and four left-side buttons.

Build an attack in two passes

Aim toward a nearby teammate and pass before the defender closes. The receiving player becomes active so you can meet the ball. If a teammate has a clear run, use a through ball to play into their path.

When the keeper moves off the line, try a chip inside shooting range. For a regular shot, hold the shoot button briefly to build power and aim across the goal.

Protect the middle

Switch to a player near the expected path of the ball. Use a standing tackle when close enough and facing the ball. Sliding reaches farther but can concede a free kick if you hit the player first.

If you need another defender to step out, use Press. A 3-2-1 formation keeps one more player behind the ball.

Follow the World Cup bracket

Choose any of the 48 teams from the final 2026 draw. Three group matches decide your route. The top two in each group and the eight best third-placed sides reach the round of 32.

A knockout draw goes to penalties. Aim and hold Shoot as the taker, then read the run-up and time your dive as the keeper.

Progress & backups

The browser keeps your tournament, match checkpoint and records. Pause and use Save and exit to return to the current fixture later.
