Football Connections is a daily football puzzle inspired by the grouping game. Sixteen footballers hide four secret groups of four — by club, nationality or trophy. Work out which players belong together and solve all four groups before you make four mistakes.
Tips for Football Connections
Start with the group you are most certain about, but watch for decoys — a player who looks like an obvious fit for one group may actually be there to complete another. When you are stuck, look for the four players that share the least obvious link.
Every puzzle has exactly one solution: each of the 16 players belongs to a single group, so there are no genuine overlaps designed to trick you — only your own assumptions.
