About This Game

Do you remember when managing a football team was all about pure strategy, matches, and quick decisions? Retro Football brings back that experience with the authenticity of 90s classics and today’s technology.

Choose your club in editable retro seasons. The 1995-96 season includes more than 400 teams, almost 10,000 players, and 20 leagues from Europe and South America. Experience the golden era of football from the dugout and build your own path to glory.

The game you remember, the way you remember it

The pace is the same as ever: match by match, fixture by fixture. Check the condition of your squad, make decisions, move forward, and face the consequences. No filler, no complications. Just management.

Manage every detail of your club

Squad and lineup
Choose your starting eleven, manage substitutes and call-ups, and keep an eye on injuries, suspensions, morale, and fitness.

Tactics
Select classic formations, adjust your playing style, and assign free-kick, penalty, and corner takers.

Transfers
Negotiate transfers with an AI that evaluates each offer based on the player’s value, the selling club’s financial situation, and the player’s own interest. Receive counteroffers, sign free agents, invest in young prospects, and renew contracts before they expire.

Finances
Control your cash flow, manage the wage bill, set ticket prices, and maximize stadium income.

Technical staff
Hire specialized coaches, physiotherapists, scouts, and other key staff members. Each role has a real impact on the club’s weekly performance.

Stadium
Expand capacity, manage advertising boards, catering, and ticket pricing for each match.

Training
Assign skills to each player based on the coaches you have hired. Young players grow, veterans decline, and every season leaves its mark on your squad.

Match simulation with full match reports

Each match is resolved in two phases: half-time and full-time. The simulation generates a match report with goals, cards, player of the match, and stadium data.

The consequences continue after the final whistle: injuries, suspensions, morale changes, and fitness variations will affect the following fixtures.

Full seasons with promotions, relegations, and awards

At the end of each season, the league closes with its final standings, promotions, relegations, and awards such as Top Scorer, Best Player, and Manager of the Year.

Then a new campaign begins, with older players, developing youngsters, and contracts renewed or expired depending on your decisions.

Built to last

Mod support
Create your own seasons, upload emblems, player photos, and custom databases.

Up to 8 human managers can compete in the same league, each managing their team in turns.
