Get the Game

The ultimate football board game.

Football is simple to understand and almost impossible to master. That’s what makes it great.

TAKA brings that same balance to the board: simple rules, endless decisions, and a tactical battle that changes with every move. Read the pitch, create space, build attacks and outthink your opponent.

Easy to learn. Different every time you play.

Developed by coaches. Played by pros.

The better football minds are the better players. First played on a UEFA B Licence course.
