Tiki-Taka is a style of play in soccer characterized by short passing and movement, maintaining possession, and working as a cohesive unit. This approach emphasizes quick, precise passes and fluid movement off the ball, allowing teams to control the game and create scoring opportunities. Originating in Spain, Tiki-Taka gained prominence during the late 2000s and early 2010s, particularly with the FC Barcelona team under coach Pep Guardiola and the Spanish national team. The strategy focuses on teamwork and intelligence, making it difficult for opponents to regain possession and counterattack effectively.
