Football Quiz Questions and Answers

Football has a long memory, and most of it is argued about in pubs. This page collects every football question we've set on Astuto, with the answer and the story behind it.

We're less interested in last weekend's score than in the things that last: where the game's rules came from, the grounds that hosted the first great matches, the people who changed how football is played. Some questions look easy until you read them twice. Others reward the fan who knows the history as well as the league table.

Each question has four options and one right answer. Have a go before you open it. Then read the explanation, because that's usually where the good bit is: the detail that settles an argument, or starts a new one.

New football questions arrive every week as part of our question of the day. If you know your game, you'll do well here. If you think you know your game, you'll find out.

How Astuto are you? Five questions. Two minutes. Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
