About this game

Football Boardroom is a football club management sim where you sit in the director’s chair, not on the touchline.

You hire the manager. You set the budget. You negotiate the sponsors, expand the stadium, and decide whether to push for promotion or steady the ship. Matchday plays out live, but your job is boardroom influence, not touchline coaching. Text the manager. Demand a sub. Tell them to push forward or sit deep. Two interventions per match. Use them wisely.

Every week, the club needs a decision. Every season, the league table tells the story.

YOUR ORIGIN. YOUR CLUB.

Start with a director backstory, ex-player investor, city financier, lifelong fan with a windfall, or media operator. Your choices shape starting cash, club reputation, fan loyalty, and how the press sees you.

Choose your nation and starting division, England, Spain, Germany, France, or Greece, each with its own pyramid, cups, and league identity. Italy is on the roadmap. Pick from the County League to the Apex League in England, or the equivalent tiers in your chosen nation. Take over a pre-made club with history and character, or build your own; name, colours, badge, motto, Club DNA, terrace anthem, the lot.

RUN THE CLUB

This is chairman football, not spreadsheet football, but the spreadsheets still bite.

  • Squad & transfers — buy, sell, and negotiate deals through summer and winter windows. Watch release clauses, wage bills, and squad morale.

  • Manager — hire tacticians with distinct styles, formations, and man-management skills. Keep them happy, or pay the severance.

  • Academy — invest in youth intake, develop prospects, and promote the next generation.

  • Stadium & commercial — expand capacity, upgrade facilities, set ticket prices, and land shirt and naming-rights deals.

  • Stadium District — build hotels, shops, offices, and museum space around your ground. Matchday is only part of the business. Watch matchday vs district income split in your treasury.

  • Identity — kit design, merch, branding, and the kind of club fans actually want to follow.

  • Season promises & press heat — lock in chairman goals, survive transfer drama and fan backlash, answer press interviews, and face the season review with your reputation on the line.

Nation-specific pyramids, up to four tiers in England, three in other playable nations, with promotion, relegation, and playoffs where they apply

MATCHDAY FROM THE BOARDROOM

When your team kicks off, follow the action on the live matchday screen, commentary, key moments, and momentum shifts. You’re not the coach on the touchline. Your manager picks the XI and runs the tactical detail day to day. You set board direction, review the squad, and step in with limited live matchday calls when it matters.

You watch, react, and intervene like a director who actually owns the place.

Before kick-off, review the announced XI, atmosphere, and home anthem on big nights.

BEYOND THE CLUB

You arrive with a personal war chest shaped by your backstory, enough to buy your way into the pyramid you want. After that, you live and die by club treasury. Loans when times are tight, side bets when you think you can afford them.

Director Holdings let you back property, media, hospitality, and more through CEO-run ventures. Set each to Expand, Steady, or Take profit. They will not eat your week, but they will help pay the wage bill or wreck it.

WEEKLY TURNS. LONG GAME.

Football Boardroom runs in weekly turns, one decision layer at a time, always moving forward. Difficulty scales starting resources. Easy gives you breathing room. Hard makes every transfer feel like a gamble.

Just football, finance, and the long climb from lower-league obscurity to top-flight pressure.

Build the club.

Back the manager.

Survive the board.

Win the argument in the stands.

    Multi-Nation World Update

    Multi-Nation WorldYou can now start a career with more than one nation in the same save. At new game setup you pick which nations are active in your world, and the game builds a full pyramid for each one. England, Spain, France, Italy, and the rest can all exist side by side instead of locking you into a single country for the whole run.World structure Each nation keeps its own league pyramid with persistent AI clubs, squads, and history. Your save tracks all active nations through shared world state, so tables, fixtures, and club data stay consistent as seasons progress. Your club always has a clear home nation, but the rest of the world keeps simulating around you.League tables and browsing The league screen supports switching between nations and tiers. You can browse every active pyramid from one place instead of only seeing your current division. Lower tiers and leagues you are not playing in use synthetic tables that update week to week, so the wider football world feels alive even when you are not directly involved in those competitions.Scouting across borders Scouting is no longer tied to a single nation pool. With multiple nations active, your scouting network can reach into other countries in your world, which opens up a much broader transfer market and makes squad building feel more like managing in a connected global game rather than a closed domestic league.New game setup Nation selection at the start of a career has been updated with multi-nation presets and clearer pyramid setup, so it is easier to choose the kind of world you want before you kick off.Save compatibility Existing saves migrate forward automatically. Single-nation careers continue to work as before; multi-nation features activate when you start a new game with multiple nations selected.
