Title Count — Rank Football Clubs by Trophies Won
How Title Count works
One competition. Four crests. Put them in order. Everyone knows who leads a competition; the game lives in second, third and fourth, where a club's reputation and its actual haul stop matching. A famous side with two titles sits below an unfashionable one with five, and the ladder does not care which you have heard of.
10 competitions and 84 clubs, drawn from 800 recorded titles between 1889 and 2025.
| Competition | Winning clubs | Different counts | Leader |
|---|---|---|---|
| FA Cup | 25 | 9 | Arsenal FC (14) |
| UEFA Champions League | 22 | 8 | Real Madrid (15) |
| Coppa Italia | 14 | 9 | Juventus FC (13) |
| DFB-Pokal | 13 | 7 | Bayern Munich (19) |
| Ligue 1 | 13 | 7 | Paris Saint-Germain (13) |
| Serie A | 13 | 10 | Juventus FC (37) |
| Copa del Rey | 11 | 9 | FC Barcelona (27) |
| Bundesliga | 9 | 6 | Bayern Munich (34) |
| La Liga | 8 | 7 | Real Madrid (36) |
| Premier League | 7 | 6 | Manchester United (13) |
What these counts cover: the 10 competitions above, and nothing else. League cups, super cups and the Club World Cup are not tracked, so a club's figure here is lower than the total on its own honours board.

How to rank better
- 1. Cups reward longevity, leagues reward dominance. A club that has been around since the 1890s piles up cup wins without ever being the best side in the country.
- 2. Pre-war football counts. Several leaders built their lead before 1950, and a club that has won nothing in your lifetime can still sit top.
- 3. Two big clubs are rarely level. When both are famous, the gap is usually larger than it feels — one of them normally had a decade the other did not.
- 4. Recent European success is not domestic success. A Champions League run says nothing about how often that club has won its own league.
- 5. Commit to the ends first. Slots score independently, so place the crest you are sure leads and the one you are sure trails, then guess the middle.
A worked example
The FA Cup is the widest board in the game — twenty-five clubs have won it, and the order catches almost everyone out. Sides that have not been near the trophy in fifty years sit above modern Premier League regulars, because the competition is a century older than the league that made those clubs famous. A ladder that reads as obvious is usually the one to slow down on.
About the authors
Title Count is maintained by the PlayFutbol Data Team. Counts are derived from Wikidata season records rather than typed in, and any season with more than one recorded winner is dropped instead of guessed at. Clubs without a verified crest file never appear, because a badge game that shows a placeholder has already failed.

Frequently asked questions
What is Title Count?
A daily football game. One competition and 4 club crests — drag them into order by how many times each has won it, then submit once.
How is it scored?
25 points per crest in the right slot, so a perfect ladder is 100. Slots score independently: getting the leader right still counts when the middle is muddled.
Which competitions come up?
10 of them — the five big European leagues, four domestic cups and the Champions League.
Why is the Europa League missing?
It has ten winners in our data spread over just two distinct title counts — almost everyone on that list has won it exactly once, so four of them cannot be put in an order at all. A board with tied rungs is unsolvable rather than hard, so the competition is excluded.
Can two clubs on the board have the same number?
No. The four counts are always different, which is the only way the order is determined.
Do these counts include every trophy a club has won?
No, and the game says so on screen. They cover the 10 competitions we track. League cups, super cups and the Club World Cup are not included, so a club's total here is lower than the number on its own honours board.
Where do the counts come from?
Wikidata season records — each competition season carries its winner, matched onto our own club list by name. 800 titles from 1889 to 2025.
How many clubs can appear?
84. A club needs a real crest file to be used at all — a game whose main visual is a badge cannot show a placeholder, so the handful of clubs we have no crest for never appear even when they have won something.
Is this about players at all?
No. It is one of the games here whose subject is a club rather than a person, alongside Who Won It and Double Up.
Does everyone get the same board?
Yes. A seeded generator gives every player worldwide the same competition and the same four crests for a given date.
Is there an archive?
Yes, the last 30 days are replayable and do not affect your daily streak.
Is it free?
Yes. No signup, no paywall, no ads inside the game.
