Quiniela with friends: how to organise the perfect group

Organising a quiniela with friends has never been easier. Automatic leaderboard, real-time results, and no manual calculations. Find out how.

Football pools are a lot more fun when you've got someone to celebrate a good call with — or commiserate over a bad one. Setting up a pool with friends on QuiniPrats is as easy as creating a WhatsApp group, but with an automatic leaderboard that updates results in real time.

Why playing the pools with friends beats going it alone

• Friendly rivalry makes every matchday more exciting
• Results speak for themselves when there's a visible leaderboard
• No need to remember who picked what — everything is recorded
• Works just as well for groups of 3 as for groups of 30

How to set up a private pool with your group

Choose your format

QuiniPrats offers two main formats: the Classic Quiniela (same mechanics as SELAE: 15 matches, 1-X-2) and the Custom Quiniela (you choose your own matches). For groups just getting started, the Classic is the simplest option.

Create the league and give it character

Pick a name that means something to the group. "La penya del Barça", "Sunday WhatsApp", "Madrid Office"... A good name makes people feel part of the league and keeps them coming back week after week.

Set up the schedule

QuiniPrats follows the official LaLiga calendar. Matchdays open automatically before each football weekend. The system sends reminders and updates results on its own.

Tips to keep the group engaged

• Share the predictions link on Thursday so nobody misses out
• Use your WhatsApp group chat to discuss the leaderboard each week
• Set fun challenges for whoever finishes last
• Celebrate the milestones: the first Pleno al 15, a perfect matchday...

How many people can join a quiniela league?

There's no strict limit in QuiniPrats. We've seen leagues with 4 mates from the village and company groups of 80 people. The leaderboard works just the same whatever the size.

Quiniela with friends vs. the official SELAE pools

The key difference is that QuiniPrats involves no real money. The SELAE pools are a regulated bet. QuiniPrats is pure sport and fun: the same thrill of getting results right, but as a free social competition.
