About CANCAN Football
CANCAN Football is top-down 4-a-side football played with flat disc players. You control the home outfielder best placed to reach the ball while your teammates and goalkeeper move on their own, and you pass, tackle and charge shots against a CPU team over a two-minute match. Points come from goals, style bonuses for how they are scored, and the final result, with the result bonus growing with the winning margin.
CANCAN Football was first released for iPhone and iPad in 2013 as CANCAN Football Simulator. This version was rebuilt to run in the browser on Rankeno Play, keeping the original’s 14 disc kits, and is free to play with leaderboards.
CANCAN Football tips and strategy
- Each goal you concede in a win costs 300 of margin bonus, and the first also costs the 200 clean sheet, so 1–0 and 3–2 wins both total 1600 before style bonuses.
- For the +50 first-time bonus, hold the action button while a pass travels to you and release within 0.9 seconds of the touch, but not instantly, or it becomes a pass.
- Three completed passes before the shot add +50, and bonuses stack: a first-time shot from 28 metres after three passes scores 250. The count resets when the CPU wins the ball.
- Holding longer makes a shot faster but less accurate, and charging slows your player to about 60% speed. From long range, a full-power shot aimed at a corner can drift wide.
- A lunge that reaches the ball wins it, but one that only hits the carrier works about a third of the time and a miss slows you. Lunge from close range.
- The CPU gets quicker, presses harder and its keeper improves as your lead grows and the clock runs on, and it eases off when you trail. Each extra goal gets harder.

How is a CANCAN Football match scored?
Each goal scores 100, plus 50 each for a shot from 28 metres or more, a first-time finish and a move of three or more completed passes. At full time a win adds 1000, 300 per goal of margin and 200 for a clean sheet, while a draw adds 250.
How long is a CANCAN Football match?
A match is two 60-second halves on a clock that stops for goals, throw-ins and goal kicks. NORMAL, FAST and TURBO run the game at 1, 1.25 and 1.5 times speed, so at TURBO the two minutes of play take about 80 real seconds. Scoring is identical at every speed.
