Goals do not just want you to score spectacular goals. It also wants to see how deep you’re willing to go with club-building, online play, and the game’s fast, skill-first loop.
Hence, it should not come as a surprise that the game’s achievement list reflects that. Some of the 45 current achievements unlock naturally as you play, while others ask you to lean into specific modes or milestones if you’re chasing 100% and that sweet 1000 total Gamerscore from Goals.

Goals is built as a live, service-style football game, so its achievement list zeroes in on the fundamentals. Learning the ropes, winning across different contexts, and engaging with long-term features such as club development and online competition. You’ll earn a decent chunk of these just by playing a few sessions.
However, full completion means sampling every core system at least once, from training to custom squads. So, here are the achievements currently tracked for Goals, along with what you need to do to unlock each one!

How Long Does It Take to Beat Goals?

Goals is designed as a match-first, session-based football game, not a one-and-done career mode. A standard competitive match lasts roughly 10–15 minutes from kickoff to final whistle. Obviously, the length of the game depends on the format and stoppages.
This makes it easy to squeeze in a couple of games per session. While still making steady progress toward promotions, events, and achievements.
For a typical player who just wants to beat Goals in the sense of getting comfortable and unlocking most of the core achievements, you’re looking at around 10–15 hours of play. This covers completing the tutorial and training, playing enough competitive matches to earn your first promotions, trying out custom squads and tactics, and dipping into at least one limited-time event.
If you’re an achievement hunter aiming for 100% completion, expect closer to 25–30 hours, depending on skill level and how quickly you adapt to the game’s pace. The time bump comes from streak-based challenges, ranking up through divisions, and clearing mode or event-specific achievements that rely on schedule and matchmaking.
Casual Players: 10-15 hours
Achievement Completionist: 25-30 hours
Keep in mind that Goals is a live service title; some achievements might also be tied to weekend leagues or rotating events. This can push back the completion timeline if you miss a cycle.
For both casual players and completionists, the main takeaway is that Goals doesn’t demand a 100-hour grind to feel done! Instead, it leans on short, sharp matches and a steady drip of progression milestones. Which makes achievement cleanup something you can realistically tackle over a few weeks of regular play rather than months of grinding.
