About This Game

WE ARE FOOTBALL 2027 puts you in the hot seat of the beautiful game - fast, deep, and absolutely uncompromising.

Build a club, reshape a dynasty, or watch your favourite team rise (or fall) in spectator mode. Every decision counts, every week matters, and every save file becomes its own football universe.

With 200+ playable countries, expanded leagues, and a huge range of international competitions, the world of football has never felt this big. And because everything is fully configurable, you decide how complex, how fast, and how wild your career becomes - right down to the number of simulated league tiers in each nation.

The all‑new Creative Mode gives you full control over your football universe. Rewrite rules, rebuild systems, push boundaries, and unleash direct actions — like jumping to any club in the world with a single click — to shape the game on your terms.

Tactical depth has taken a leap forward: clearer effects, visible attribute requirements in match scenes, and multi‑stage negotiations where rival clubs can swoop in at any moment. Every transfer feels alive, every decision has weight.

Regional cups add a fresh layer of progression. Start in your local district, fight your way into regional glory, and earn your ticket to the national stage. Perfect for career climbers and club creators who love a long road to the top.

The series’ trademark strengths shine brighter than ever: smooth controls, fast week-to-week flow, and full support for community expansions. And as always, every single match in the entire world is simulated identically and can be watched in 3D, no shortcuts, no exceptions.

A powerful external editor is included, letting you build league systems, cups, clubs, stadiums, players, managers, staff, referees, sponsors, fan chants, derbies, and more. In‑game editors let you adjust details on the fly, from player names to club data.

Step into the dugout, shape your legacy, and write the next great football story with WE ARE FOOTBALL 2027.
