Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Football Academy Manager is developed by a solo developer, and Early Access makes it possible to shape the game together with the community. The core experience is already playable, but player feedback is essential for improving balance, progression, and overall game feel.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There is no fixed timeframe. The game will remain in Early Access until the core experience feels complete and the community is satisfied with its direction. The goal is to develop and improve it steadily without promising a specific end date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to offer a more complete and polished experience. Early Access will focus on refining the core gameplay, improving balance, expanding depth, and adding additional content based on community feedback. The final release will build on this foundation and include the improvements and features shaped during the Early Access phase.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is fully playable and stable. Players can scout talent, manage their academy, develop young players, progress through seasons, earn income, and build their reputation. The Early Access version already offers a complete gameplay loop, but some systems are still in a basic form and will be expanded and refined throughout development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access version will be offered at a lower price. As the game grows in scope and polish, the price may increase for the full release to reflect the added content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Player feedback will play a central role during development. The community can share ideas, report issues, and help shape priorities through Steam discussions and social channels. Suggestions and balancing feedback will be regularly reviewed, and updates during Early Access will be guided by what players find most important or enjoyable.”

About This Game

Football is full of hidden talent — and it’s your job to find it

You build an academy by finding them early, developing them properly, and selling at the right moment so you can grow.

You scout youth matches to reveal real ability, sign the prospects that fit, train with clear focus, upgrade your facilities, and reinvest through transfers. Every decision feeds the next step.

  • Scout youth players — watch match simulations, reveal skills and traits over time, and sign the right prospects into your academy.

  • Develop talent — set focused training (e.g., Stamina, Vision, Finishing) and let match minutes turn potential into progress.

  • Upgrade your academy — improve facilities to speed development and raise your prestige.

  • Sell players — move graduates on to interested clubs and fund the next wave of prospects.

  • Customize leagues and players — edit competitions, clubs, and player names to shape your own football world.

Shape the structure of your football world. Edit leagues, clubs, and player names to reflect real competitions, create fictional setups, or adjust details to your preference. Every change integrates seamlessly, allowing you to manage within a system built the way you want it.

You follow games from the sidelines as key moments unfold — goals, chances, cards, swings in form. Performances shape your assessment: strengths stand out, gaps become clear, and a player’s stock rises or settles based on what happens on the pitch.

You choose who to watch and come back until the picture is solid. Hidden attributes become visible, consistency (or the lack of it) shows up, and the rough outline turns into a real profile. When a prospect fits, you make the offer and bring them into the academy.

You start modest and improve with intent. Facility upgrades sharpen training and recovery and lift your prestige, opening the door to stronger opposition and better development paths. Step by step, your academy becomes the place where potential turns into output.

Development is targeted, not vague. You set the focus, earn progress through minutes, and see steady gains across seasons. When the time is right, you sell — not for clauses or bonuses, just a clean move that funds your next signing and the next upgrade.
