Bingo Legends — twelve squares and a queue of retired players

Every day a card with twelve squares — played for this club, is from this country, plays in this position, debuted in this decade — and a queue of legends who appear one at a time. Only players who have hung up their boots make it in, and the decade matters more than in the original bingo: it is what separates Garrincha from Ronaldinho. Place each one in a square he fits, or skip: each player is worth one try, and whoever spends the versatile player on the easy square runs out of room later. Free, no sign-up, in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

How to play Bingo Legends

Bingo Legends is Football Bingo with one restriction: the daily queue only brings players who have stopped playing. Twelve squares and a queue of legends, one at a time — place or skip, and each player is worth one try.

The rules, in 30 seconds

  1. The card is visible from the start. Twelve squares: club, country, position and debut decade.
  2. The queue brings one legend at a time, the same for the whole world.
  3. Place him in a square he fits, or skip. Skipping is free.
  4. Wrong square and the player is gone — one try each.
  5. Fill the twelve and you win. If the queue runs out with an empty square, the score is how many you placed.

The legend criterion, declared

"Legend" here is not an opinion: it is a player whose career our database closes ten years ago or more. His last recorded spell ended by 2016, and no spell of his is open. The ten-year cut exists because the data source often omits the end of a career — measured against the 702 players we curated by hand, the one-year cut would let active players in, and the ten-year cut misses none.

Frequently asked questions

My favourite player is missing. Why?

Either he is still active, or his career record is open in our database — and in that case we would rather leave him out than assert what we do not know.

Is my progress saved?

It is, in your own browser, and separate from the other games in the hub.

Are there other legends games?

There is: Lineup Legends, which uses the same cut to build a team.
