Are you watching European Football championship now? I am enjoying a feast period in my translation business at the moment, but I try my best to watch at least some games. That actually gave me an idea to look for some cool football glossaries and share them with you. Hoping that you will find them useful.


1) Soccer Glossary - A Dictionary of Soccer Terms - a lot of terms there, all of them in English
2) Multilingual soccer glossary thread in Wordreference forum - it is very interesting, though the list of the terms is by no means exhaustive.
3) Some soccer slang - some expressions and their definitions sound quite funny :)
4) German-English soccer dictionary
5) Football glossary - This is a cool glossary. It shows even how to use the terms. Besides, you can look down the page and see related posts all about football
6) Энциклопедия болельщика. Словарь футбольных терминов от А до Я - all in Russian
7) English-Spanish-Russian football/soccer dictionary

Do you know any other good resources? Please share them in comments!
