A trophy nobody wants

The Ugly Game is a satirical football voting site for celebrating the bits of the game that really shouldn't be celebrated.

The idea came together during the 2026 World Cup. After watching far too much diving, arguing with referees, dirty challenges, time-wasting and general nonsense, I got a bit fed up.

So I thought: if we're going to see this stuff anyway, why not give it an award?

That's basically The Ugly Game.

Vote for the worst moments, players and team performances, have a laugh about it, and at the end of it all we hand out the one thing nobody wants to win:

an Ugly Game Award.
