About This Free Kick Game
This free kick game puts you behind the ball for a direct free kick. Every shot is from a different spot, between 18 and 30 metres out, with a defensive wall exactly 9.15 metres away and a goalkeeper ready to dive. Under Law 13, a goal can be scored directly from a direct free kick, so it’s you against the wall and the keeper.
The ball follows a simple physics model with gravity, curve and wind. The wall jumps, so a low driven shot can skid underneath. The goalkeeper reacts to your shot, but curved shots are harder for them to read. Choose Easy to learn, Medium for a fair test, or Hard for long-range free kicks in the wind. Play the free kick game’s 10-shot challenge to set a high score, or practise as long as you like.

- Keep your head over the ball to stop it flying over the bar.

- Place the ball with the valve facing you for a cleaner strike.

Free Kick Game FAQ
How Do I Play The Free Kick Game?
Drag or tap on the goal to aim, set the curve with the slider, then press Shoot and press again to stop the power bar in the green zone. You have 10 free kicks in the challenge to score as many goals as you can.
Is The Free Kick Game Free?
Yes. The free kick game is completely free, needs no download or sign-up, and works on phones, tablets and computers.
How Do I Curl The Ball?
Move the curve slider left or right before you shoot. The dotted line shows roughly how the ball will bend. Curling the ball also makes it harder for the keeper to read your shot.
How Do I Shoot Under The Wall?
Aim very low, close to the ground. The ball is driven along the ground and can skid under the wall when the defenders jump, just like in real football.
Why Does The Keeper Save My Shots?
The keeper stands on the opposite side to the wall and moves towards your shot. Aim close to the corners, use curve to fool them, and try the near-post side over the wall.
What Is The Green Zone On The Power Bar?
It’s the perfect power. Inside the zone your shot goes where you aimed. Too much power and the ball flies higher, too little and it drops into the wall.
Can I Play With A Keyboard?
Yes. Use the arrow keys to aim, A and D to change curve, and Space or Enter to shoot and stop the power bar.
How Far Is The Wall From The Ball?
Under Law 13 of the Laws of the Game, opponents must be at least 9.15 m (10 yards) from the ball at a free kick. The free kick game places the wall at exactly that distance.
Is My High Score Saved?
Yes. Your best 10-shot challenge score for each difficulty is saved in your browser on this device.
Can I Share My Score?
Yes. Copy your score to challenge friends, or download a GlobeHour certificate PDF with your rank, stats and shot map.
