A football game to play with your friends online

Twelve Yards is a penalty shootout you play against your friends, one on one or two against two. You shoot, they keep, then you swap, and both of you choose at the same time on your own phones. Nobody sees the other’s move until the ball is struck.

Challenge a friend in one link

Sign in with Google, tap Challenge a friend and send the link on WhatsApp, Instagram or anywhere else. Your friend opens it, signs in, and the match starts. No app to install and no friend codes to swap.

Or play someone new

Quick match finds you an opponent in seconds. Play a single match or a best of three series, and ask for a rematch at full time. Four of you? Make a 2v2 team room and share its code.

Fair, live and a bit cheeky

• A game server referees every kick, so nobody can see your choice early or change a result.
• Both phones play each kick at the same moment.
• Tease your opponent, react to their misses and pick a celebration when you score. Between friends you can write your own lines.
• Rivals keeps your head-to-head record with everyone you've played, and the leaderboards rank you against your friends, your country and the world.

What you need

A browser on iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac, and a Google account. Online play is for players aged 18 and over. Turn on notifications and the game tells you when it's your move.
