Football (or soccer) is as much popular as mathematics is not, at least in the general public and among kids in particular. However, one cannot be a football fan without using some mathematics, as will be demonstrated by examples ranging from 1st to 8th year of primary school. For each grade, we shall give examples of incorporating football topics (of real relevance to anyone interested in football) into the Croatian mathematical curriculum. This ranges from basic arithmetics needed to follow the results of a championship up to the application of the Pythagorean theorem and basic probability to explain penalty statistics. Keywords: primary school mathematics, football, arithmetics, geometry, probability, algebra 1 The 8th International Scientific Colloquium MATHEMATICS AND CHILDREN 2021 Nogometom kroz matematiku Franka Miriam Brueckler Matematički odsjek, Prirodoslovno-matematički fakultet, Sveučilište u Zagrebu,
