How to remember football matches

Hi Folks

I have terrible trouble in remembering past football matches in terms of what the final score is, and who scored etc.

A lot of my friends can remember them in quite a bit of detail.

My memory and concentration is 'normal' except remembering past football matches.

Can you advice on how I can improve on that?

Thanks

I don't need a mnemonic to remember I football match that got me in the past. According to the importance, meaning, final score and the teams they played each other, I can remember so easily.

Why do you need to remember past football matches at all?

There are some reasons: special time in your life, a team that made you proud of, speical circumstances you can't forget, players who played an amazing match and gave an incredible performance, the team that you supported for a long time made history, etc.

@Zerforax is certainly able to understand what I am talking about.

A lot of my friends talk about past football matches whenever we meet up (i.e. final score, who scored, who got sent off etc), However, I can hardly remember these details.
Can you advise of a way to remember this info without without having to write and repeating to myself in parrot fashion ?

Try engaging more actively with the games as you watch—maybe keep a match journal where you jot down key moments and scores, or discuss the games with friends right after they finish to reinforce the details in your mind. This type of active engagement helps with retention.

Additionally, you might find it helpful to check out detailed summaries and analyses on sports io after the matches. They often break down the key moments and can provide stats that might help trigger your memory about what you've watched.

Having an app like BBC or Sky Sports can help with contemporary matches but for past games, it might be worth having a look at UEFA/FIFA websites as they might have the information you're looking for.
