Football Reference

Welcome to the Tactiko football reference — your quick-access guide to the biggest competitions, greatest players, and most iconic moments in football history. Whether you are settling a debate about Champions League finals, looking up every World Cup winner since 1930, or tracing the full Ballon d'Or lineage from Stanley Matthews to Rodri, you will find complete, accurate records here. Every entry includes the year, key participants, and results so you can get the facts without digging through ad-heavy sites.

Football has always been a game of strategy as much as athleticism. The managers and players who lifted these trophies did so by out-thinking their opponents — reading the game, making the right call at the right moment. That same spirit of tactical decision-making is at the heart of Tactiko, our free turn-based football strategy game.
