What is Football Masters?
Football Masters is a free, fast-paced 2D soccer game with bobblehead players from famous national teams — quick 90-second duels you can play solo, against a friend, or in a 2v2 tournament.
From studio Madpuffers, it’s the deepest head-soccer game in the arcade: every character has its own look and a unique Supershot, plus a Teleport ability and a slide tackle that stuns.
Simple controls, no football knowledge required — jump, kick, slide, and unleash your Supershot to bury the winner before the 90 seconds are up.

Player 1 uses W to jump and A/D to move, and S to slide.

A well-timed slide stuns your opponent and wins back the ball.

How to win at Football Masters
Bank your Supershot. It’s your most powerful finish, so save K for a clear opening rather than wasting it from range.
Slide to steal. A well-timed slide stuns your opponent and frees the ball — use it just as they’re about to shoot.
Win the jump. Control the high ball by jumping to meet it; whoever heads it usually starts the next attack.
Watch the 90-second clock. If you’re ahead late, keep possession near your opponent’s goal rather than over-attacking.
Learn each Supershot. The angle and speed differ per character, so pick one whose finish suits your style.
Good to know — Football Masters, by Madpuffers, gives every bobblehead character its own Supershot and a Teleport ability — and supports local 2-player on one keyboard, which most head-soccer games don’t.
