Soccer (Football)

[Kraus]

I'd like to find a soccer multilingual glossary? I'm particularly interested in English, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian soccer terms...

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

[jancho]

There are some term for which it is hard to find their translaction online. Could someone please translate this into other languages? (like German, Finnish, Norwegian, French, etc)

football strip =
half time =
forward =
defender =
score a goal =
to head =
throw-in =
shoot =

I will start with the Czech version:

football strip = dres
half time = poločas
forward = útočník
defender = obránce
score a goal = dát gól
to head = trefit hlavičkou
throw-in = vhození (noun), vhodit (verb)
shoot = střela (noun), střelit (verb)

My two cents (Spanish):
football strip = ??
half time = Entretiempo
forward = Delantero
defender = Defensor/Defensa
score a goal = Hacer/anotar un gol
to head = Cabecear
throw-in = Lateral
shoot = Disparar/Rematar (verb) Disparo/Remate/Tiro (noun)

 

[coquis14]

My two cents (Portuguese):
football strip = ??
half time = Meio-Tempo
forward = Atacante/Dianteiro
defender = Zagueiro
score a goal = Fazer/Marcar um gol
to head = Cabecear
throw-in = Lateral
shoot = Chutar/Bater (verb) Chute (noun)

 

[Frank78]

German:

football strip = (What´s that the clothing? - I´m just guessing from the czech word "dres") - We use "Trikot" for the jersey
half time = Halbzeit
forward = Stürmer
defender = Verteidiger
score a goal = Ein Tor erzielen
to head = köpfen
throw-in = Einwurf (noun), einwerfen (verb)
shoot = schießen

 

[sokol]

I think you have chosen the wrong word for "football strip": do you mean the shirt the players wear?
Also I've added a few more (really essential ) terms:
Edit - I see that while I was compiling this list Frank78 also posted German terms (he was quicker ); and he gives "köpfen" so "köpfeln" probably is Austrian - changed below.

German:
Those marked (AT) are (to my knowledge) specifically Austrian; so "Leiberl" is only used by Austrians, and "Trikot" is general. Those which (I think) are used mostly in Germany I mark (D) - like "Leibchen". (I can't provide Swiss peculiarities.)

football strip = ??
soccer = (Association = European) football = Fußball
football pitch = Fußballfeld
kick-off = Anstoß
half time = Halbzeit
shirt = Trikot; Leiberl (AT)
home shirt = Heimtrikot; Heim-Leiberl (AT)
away shirt = Auswärtstrikot; Auswärts-Leiberl (AT)
captain = Kapitän
forward = Stürmer
midfielder = Mittelfeldspieler
defender = Verteidiger
sweeper/libero = Libero
goalkeeper = Tormann; Goalie (AT)
referee = Schiedsrichter; Schiri (slang)
assistant referee (formerly linesman) = Schiedsrichter-Assistent; (informal still: Linienrichter)
goal = Tor; Goal (AT)
score a goal = ein Tor schiessen; einen Treffer erzielen; ein Goal schiessen (AT)
to head = köpfen (DE); köpfeln (AT)
header = Kopfball
throw-in = einwerfen
shoot = schießen
corner (kick) = Eckball; Eckstoß (DE); Corner (AT)
penalty (kick) = Strafstoß (formal); Elfmeter; Elfer; Penalty (AT)
free kick = Freistoß
foul = Foul
yellow/red card = gelbe/rote Karte

 

[Frank78]

shirt = Trikot; Leibchen (DE); Leiberl (AT)

referee = Schiedsrichter; Schiri (AT, slang)

I don´t know anyone who says "Leibchen" in Germany. Perhaps there are some in the south.

"Schiri" is also German slang

 

[sokol]

I don´t know anyone who says "Leibchen" in Germany. Perhaps there are some in the south.

Wiki says that the term is still used in sports (without reference to football specifically). But WordReference says (and I even contributed there ...) that "Leibchen" may not be used in football - I should have searched there first. (I'll edit the list above.)

[ForzaItalia]

Hi,

I have just created a brand new Italian to English football glossary which should help you. It contains over 800 entries.

For more information, visit my Calcio glossary.

Regards - Lucia

 

[Black4blue]

Turkish...
I'm gonna tell you the ones I know. (Most of them are similar)

Goal=Gol
Foul=Faul
Forward=Forvet (what a weird change!)
Shoot=Şut
Free Kick=Frikik
Off Side=Ofsayt
Corner=Korner
Penalty=Penaltı
Yellow/Red Card=Sarı/Kırmızı Kart
Defence=Defans
Half Time=Devre (If it means one of two periods of game time)
Stadium=Stadyum
Pitch=Saha
Goal Keeper=Kaleci (more common) or File Bekçisi
(to) Score a Goal=Gol At(mak)

 

[sound shift]

Turkish...
Half Time=Devre (If it means one of two periods of game time) No, half time means the fifteen-minute interval between the two halves of the match.

 

[Black4blue]

Oh, OK. But, isn't it ten-minute ? Anyway... It doesn't have a speacial name, just devre arası (half break).

 

[JeSuisSnob]

In Resources - Recursos (Sp-En forums) we have this multilingual dictionary (which our fellow forero swift offered to us):

Diccionario de futbol / Football/soccer dictionary (It has terms in Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian, English and Deutsch)

And we also have a Spanish-English mini-database with football/soccer terms:

Hi everyone!

I found this forum looking for soccer terms EN-GER and tried to open this link from the post by JeSuisSnob:

Unfortunately, it seems not to be working... has the dictionary been moved? Can anyone help me find it?

Thank you in advance!

I've also found the following links, in case someone's still looking:

I made my Russian version out of the Italian version suggested by Kraus:

to win = выиграть, win = победа
to lose = проиграть, loss = поражение
to draw = сыграть вничью, свести матч вничью, draw = ничья
forward = attaccante = нападающий, a bit less often форвард
midfielder = centrocampista = полузащитник, less often and a bit slangy хавбек, yet more slangy хав
defensive midfielder = опорный полузащитник
attacking midfielder = атакующий полузащитник, игрок "под нападающими"
deep-lying midfielder = центральный полузащитник, плеймейкер
winger = крайний полузащитник (левый or правый), инсайд (if his main role is to attack and not to defend), игрок фланга/фланговый игрок
defender = difensore = защитник
sweeper/libero = libero = либеро, либеро, последний защитник
goalkeeper = portiere = вратарь, голкипер
referee = arbitro = судья, арбитр, рефери
assistant referee (formerly linesman) = guardalinee, segnalinee = помощник судьи, судья на линии, лайнсмен
goal = goal, gol, rete = гол
score a goal = segnare un goal/gol, segnare una rete = забить гол, забить мяч, забить мяч в ворота, less often забить мяч в сетку or even порвать сетку (if the shoot was powerful)
-------(and there exist some other good set expressions involving the word сетка like мяч в сетке, мяч попал в сетку, футболист потряс сетку ворот ... с внешней стороны ;-) )
concede a goal = пропустить гол, пропустить мяч, пропустить мяч в ворота, less often пропустить мяч в сетку (and of course many slangy terms for it exist too!)
/expressing the ))))))))))))) situation/ = гоооол!!!
/expressing the :-(((((((((((( situation/ -- the silence is gold ;-)
to head = colpire di testa = играть головой, бить головой, пасовать головой (depending on a situation)
header = colpo di testa = удар головой, игра головой, пас головой (the same note)
throw-in = rimessa laterale = вбрасывание, вбрасывание мяча из-за боковой ("боковой линии" is meant), more often ввод мяча из-за боковой
shoot = tiro = удар, удар по воротам, удар по мячу
tirare = бить, бить по воротам, бить по мячу (imperfective); perfective is "ударить" or "пробить"
corner (kick) = calcio d'angolo, corner = угловой, угловой удар, less often корнер
penalty (kick) = calcio di rigore, rigore = пенальти, less often and more official одиннадцатиметровый штрафной удар
direct free kick = штрафной удар, штрафной
indirect free kick = свободный удар, свободный
foul = fallo = нарушение, нарушение правил, фол
handball = игра рукой (there is also a sport named "гандбол" or "ручной мяч"; it is "handball" in English)
yellow card = cartellino giallo = жёлтая карточка, slangy горчичник
red card = cartellino rosso = красная карточка
sending-off = удаление
remplacement d'un joueur = замена
pass, passing = передача, передача мяча, пас
to pass = пасовать, передавать мяч, делать передачу
offside = оффсайд, положение вне игры
the ball missed the goal = мяч прошёл мимо ворот (and of course some slangy terms like "в молоко", if the ball went very far from the goal, or "по воробьям", if the ball went too high)
tiro a campanile = "свеча"
bloccare il tiro = взять мяч, поймать мяч
bloccare il passaggio = перехватить передачу, прервать передачу, the same with пас
(se nessuno ha bloccato un passaggio, questo significa che "передача прошла" o "пас прошёл")

A pass which finds his addressee is called "точный пас", "точная передача". Sometimes though they say, that "передача точная, но её перехватили" ;-)

When one is close to score a goal, it is called "опасный момент" or "острый момент". A pass, which makes such a situation, is called "острый пас", "острая передача", "опасный пас", "опасная передача". When one misses a goal, it is called "упустить момент". When a player can play the ball, and at the moment he is alone who can do that, it is called "владеть мячом". When an attacker faces a goalkeeper, "владеет мячом", and they are only two who can influence the situation, it is called "выход один на один". When an attacker cheats his defender and approaches to the goal, it is called "обыгрывать" or "обыгрывать один в один". I don't know the corresponding terms in English, in Italian, or in French.

Some other interesting terms:
to play a game without conceding a goal = сыграть всухую, отыграть насухо or оставить ворота в неприкосновенности ("свои ворота" are meant here, of course)
goalpost = штанга
crossbar = перекладина
an area of a goal close to a post = угол ворот (левый or правый)
верхний угол ворот = "девятка"
нижний угол ворот = (less known) "шестёрка"
45 minutes to play are called "тайм" (and it's the only meaning of the word). A game consists of "первый тайм" (first half), "второй тайм" (second half), possibly "овертайм" (another name - "дополнительное время") and "серия пенальти". Both halves may have additional minutes to play, called "добавленное время" (other name - "компенсированное время", "добавочное время"; some mix up the words "дополнительное время" and "добавочное время").

Of course, this wordlist is very incomplete and can be elaborated further... It's only a start!

Regards!

A pass which finds his addressee is called "точный пас", "точная передача". Sometimes though they say, that "передача точная, но её перехватили" ;-)

When one is close to score a goal, it is called "опасный момент" or "острый момент". A pass, which makes such a situation, is called "острый пас", "острая передача", "опасный пас", "опасная передача". When one misses a goal, it is called "упустить момент". When a player can play the ball, and at the moment he is alone who can do that, it is called "владеть мячом". When an attacker faces a goalkeeper, "владеет мячом", and they are only two who can influence the situation, it is called "выход один на один". When an attacker cheats his defender and approaches to the goal, it is called "обыгрывать" or "обыгрывать один в один". I don't know the corresponding terms in English, in Italian, or in French.

Some other interesting terms:
to play a game without conceding a goal = сыграть всухую, отыграть насухо or оставить ворота в неприкосновенности ("свои ворота" are meant here, of course)
goalpost = штанга
crossbar = перекладина
an area of a goal close to a post = угол ворот (левый or правый)
верхний угол ворот = "девятка"
нижний угол ворот = (less known) "шестёрка"
45 minutes to play are called "тайм" (and it's the only meaning of the word). A game consists of "первый тайм" (first half), "второй тайм" (second half), possibly "овертайм" (another name - "дополнительное время") and "серия пенальти". Both halves may have additional minutes to play, called "добавленное время" (other name - "компенсированное время", "добавочное время"; some mix up the words "дополнительное время" and "добавочное время").

Of course, this wordlist is very incomplete and can be elaborated further... It's only a start!

Hi. Sorry for my ignorance, i dont know any Russian but...i am curious of one thing. Often while watching football matches with russian commentators, when some player make a "cross" the commentator says something like "padacja!" (i see that: pass, passing = передача= peredača? maybe this one? but seems to me it's not just a normal pass but more a cross..). As far as i dont know the cyrillic alphabet, could you please help me to find this word and eventually transliterate it into latin alfabeth? Thank you in advance.

I'm not an expert in football, but I read this thread by chance, I followed the text of vsop44 above, and I wanted to offer my contribution in European Portuguese:

midfielder = demi ou milieu = Médio
Forward = avant = Avançado
winger = ailier = Ponta-de-lança/AtacanteAla / Extremo

I've corrected some mistakes.

This is valid for European Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese football vocabulary often differs.

something Finnish that I learned from a Finnish friend:

penalty kick - rangaistuspotku
euro 2016 - euroa 2016
midfield - keskikenttä
league - liiga

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

euroa 2016

Euroa is a partitive singular form of the European currency, the euro. The football tournament is jalkapallon Euroopan-mestaruuskilpailut.
