Create and join private leagues with friends, colleagues, family.
Compete on leaderboards based on prediction accuracy.
View match schedules, results, and statistics.
Important: FutbolPool is a free, social prediction game. We do not offer real-money gambling, betting, or wagering of any kind. Points earned are for entertainment and bragging rights only and have no monetary value.
5. Predictions and scoring
Prediction deadlines: predictions must be submitted before the designated deadline (typically 1-6 hours before kickoff). Late predictions will not be accepted.
Scoring system: points are awarded based on prediction accuracy. The scoring system varies by tournament stage, with higher points available for knockout rounds and finals.
Score finalisation: match results are finalised based on official tournament data. We allow a 2-hour grace period after matches for potential corrections (e.g. VAR reviews).
Disputes: leaderboard rankings are calculated automatically. While we strive for accuracy, our decisions on scoring disputes are final.
