El Niño Games

Free, unofficial football games: guess the squad, and draft & manage a season.

El Niño Games is a small, independent collection of free football games you can play in your browser, with no download and no account required. There are two kinds: quick "guess the squad" puzzles where you name a real team from its line-up one clue at a time, and deeper "draft and manage" games where you build a squad and play out a full season against a simulated league or against your friends.

Every game runs on the same in-house match engine and the same hand-derived player ratings, so a striker who is lethal in one game behaves the same way in another. Your progress is saved on your device, and you can optionally sign in to sync across devices and appear on the global leaderboards.
