Printable Football Picture Quiz

Test Your Football Knowledge

Football picture quizzes are a top choice for pub quizzes and family game nights because they’re quick to play, instantly engaging, and suitable for all ages. With 12 football‑themed images to identify, this style of picture round sparks debate, tests knowledge of the game, and adds a competitive edge to any event. It’s one of the most popular printable quiz formats thanks to its simplicity and wide appeal among football fans.

How to Use This Quiz

Print the quiz, hand it out before the round begins, and let players work through the 12 football images at their own pace. Participants simply write down the name of each player, club, legend, or clue they recognise. This picture round works as a standalone activity but is usually included as part of a longer pub quiz. A separate answer sheet is included for the quizmaster.

Picture quizzes are a traditional feature of British pub quizzes, and we’ve created both UK‑focused and broader football‑themed versions. Any writing you see on certain images is required attribution for Creative Commons licensing, which allows us to use those images legally and responsibly. Because many football images are copyrighted, it isn’t always possible to include every image we’d like. Some websites ignore copyright altogether, but we will never do that.
