What is 2D Football Wars?
2D Football Wars is a free 2D arcade football-battle game by Alpha Dolphin Games, playable in the browser on Y8.com since September 2026 (current build v1.1.0). Two footballers, real ball physics, and a war on top: slide tackles, special powers, momentum swings and style combos.
Under the simple pitch sits a surprisingly deep package — twelve game modes including a knockout tournament, an endless gauntlet with roguelike upgrades, trick trials, a 3v3 team mode, six named AI rivals with distinct playstyles, and a full career economy of XP, daily challenges and achievements. This wiki documents all of it from the game's own published files, so numbers here are exact — and when something isn't confirmed, we say so.
