European Football Quiz: what it is
Most fans can list the title contenders in Spain, Italy, Germany and France. Far fewer can name the side that finished twelfth in Serie A five years ago, the Bundesliga newcomer that went straight back down, or the Ligue 1 club that hovered just above the drop. This European football quiz is built for that second kind of knowledge.
Prompts are generated season by season from match results in La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1. You may be asked for any club in a season, a club that finished in the top half, a club from the bottom five or a club that has played in every season in our data. The Eredivisie, the Primeira Liga and the Scottish Premiership are in the wider all-clubs topic.
Footbillion is a free daily football quiz where every correct name has a price. This page is Footbillion Unlimited filtered to one topic: the European leagues set currently holds 165 prompts in the Footbillion bank, each with its full list of valid answers. Play as many rounds as you like; your daily Footbillion streak is not affected.
How the European football quiz works
Choose the European leagues topic and press play for seven Footbillion prompts drawn from the four leagues. Type a club and pick it from the suggestions. Accents are optional, so Koln finds 1. FC Köln, and short names such as Atleti, Inter and Gladbach are accepted. You have three tries and a 45-second clock per prompt.
Final tables are rebuilt from results with three points for a win, then goal difference and goals scored. Official tables sometimes use head-to-head records or points deductions, so a few positions can differ.
Tips for rare answers across Europe
- Learn the yo-yo clubs. Every league has sides that bounce between divisions. They are the most valuable answers in season prompts.
- Mid-table is a goldmine. In top-half prompts, places seven to ten are far rarer picks than the champions.
- Watch the league size. The Bundesliga has 18 clubs, La Liga and Serie A have 20, and Ligue 1 went from 20 to 18 in 2023/24, so the number of valid answers changes.
- Think regionally. Clubs from smaller cities and islands appear less often, which pushes their value up.
Four leagues, one price list
Every club in the bank has a fame score built from its seasons in a top flight, its Champions League seasons, its titles and its finishing positions. That means a Bundesliga regular and a Serie A regular are priced on the same scale, so a set that jumps from Spain to Germany to France still feels fair. If you prefer English football, try the Premier League quiz; for European nights, the Champions League quiz.
