New to reading the game? Train firstHow the Football IQ Test works
Footy Eye is a free football (soccer) quiz about reading the game: each situation plays out on a tactics board, you pick the best of four decisions, and the Test turns ten of them into one Football IQ from 60 to 140.
Ten situations, five categories
Every run draws two situations at random from each of five categories (Build-Up, Transition, Pressing, Movement and Game Management), out of a pool of 160. Each play runs on a tactics board with its question on screen; then four options appear and you have 20 seconds to choose.
How your score is calculated
You start at 100. A right answer in the first 10 of your 20 seconds adds 4, a later right answer adds 3, a wrong answer takes off 2 and running out of time takes off 4. Your Football IQ always stays between 60 and 140.
Levels
Your score also gives you a level. A level describes your score, not how you compare with other players.

What it measures
How you read the game, not what you know: no trivia about players, clubs or history. The Football IQ is Footy Eye's own game score, not a clinical IQ test.
