Chairman 27
Run a football club from the boardroom. Hire the manager, build the stadium.
You're not the manager. You're the chairman. Take charge of a small non-league club and build it into a giant: appoint the manager, set the budgets, sign the sponsors, build the stadium and keep the board and the fans on side. The manager picks the team. You decide everything else.

What you do
You are the chairman.
The manager picks the team.
Hire and fire
Interview managers and compare their match, coaching and transfer ratings, then agree their wages. Win and they will want a new deal. Lose and the board will want answers. You can also hire assistants, physios, coaches, scouts and a youth coach, with more staff slots opening up at higher levels.
Money is everything
Season tickets, match tickets, executive boxes, food and drink, shops, merchandise, prize money, sponsorship, naming rights and TV money come in. Wages, bonuses, stadium upkeep, the pitch, facilities and debt interest go out. A weekly finance report shows where every pound went.
Build your ground
Upgrade each stand seat by seat, add executive boxes, open shops, food outlets and bars, and look after the pitch. Invest in the training ground, the scouting network and the youth academy, or build a brand-new stadium once you outgrow your home.
Transfers that push back
Clubs haggle. Bids are checked against each country’s transfer window, offers close to the asking price are accepted, and lowball offers can end the talks until the next window. Loans, recalls and AI clubs trading among themselves keep the market moving.
Watch the matches
Follow your club’s games live on a 2D pitch with commentary and substitutions, or skip straight to full time. Weather and pitch conditions change through the year, and every other fixture in the world is simulated in the background.
Cups and tournaments
There are 21 domestic cups, three continental club competitions, super cups and a world club cup. Every four years, nations meet in continental championships and a world tournament.
Your legacy
Earn chairman experience, unlock 70 achievements and put your name in the Hall of Fame. Choose from three difficulty levels, from a patient board to a ruthless one.
Under the hood
A match engine that plays the football.
The score is never drawn first and explained afterwards. Goals come out of a simulation of the play itself.
Read how the engine works →- A continuous 2D simulation of 22 players and the ball on a 105 × 68 m pitch, stepped five times a second
- A seeded random number generator, so a match can be replayed exactly
- 42 formations and 12 team styles, each tuned for pressing, width, tempo, directness and risk
- Every other fixture uses a faster possession-chain model built on the same player-quality inputs
- Referees, cards, injuries, fatigue and per-league rules for benches, substitutions and squad sizes
A living football world
1,602 clubs. 88 leagues. 20 countries.
Other clubs buy, sell, sack managers and go into debt. Players ask for new contracts, hand in transfer requests and get their heads turned. Every club and player is invented.
