Here is a range of football vocabulary worksheets for ESL classes on the sport. There is a huge amount of vocabulary related to football or soccer, and the first 3 handouts consist of completely different words and pictures. You may want to use 2 or more of them in your class if you think your students are up to the challenge or are avid football fans. If you think the worksheets are too challenging, let your pupils use a dictionary or simply assign the task as homework.
Afterward, if you want to get your students to practice speaking, think about using the football conversation questions for a discussion activity.
The correct answers for the first handout above should be as follows –
Corner Flag – World Cup – Captain – Tournament – Corner Kick
Volley – Referee – Half-Time – Short Pass – Manager
Pitch/Field – Assist – Header – Football Club – Long Pass
Boots – Air Horn – Penalty Kick – Scoreboard – Whistle
