About This Game

From the street to the history books.


You're 8 years old, you've got a ball and a dusty pitch in the favela (or the potrero, the cage, the parish yard…). Futbolero is a fast, funny and slightly unhinged football career simulator (yes, soccer too): every choice rewrites your story, every season is one screen, and no two careers are ever the same.

Do you sign for the giants or become a legend where they love you? Bite back at the journalist or bite your tongue? Go on the cover of the world's biggest football game, even though everyone says it's cursed? You decide, with the odds right there on screen. Then you live with it… sometimes years later.

Legend mode: start as a kid in your neighbourhood


  • 12 origins with their own pitch and their own stories: favela, potrero, the cage, the wasteland, the parish yard, the mansion…
  • Matches lived play by play, with a TV-style broadcast and you taking the key moment.
  • Scouts, trials, the academy that might let you go, your first coach, your best mate from the street… and your first pro contract at 16.

You play the moments that matter


Penalties, free kicks, dribbles, bicycle kicks, diving saves… 12 quick minigames in packed stadiums — or on the dirt pitch where it all started. Rather not? They're simulated from your stats.

Dynasties and legacy

Retire and carry on as your son or daughter. They inherit your genes, your surname, your vices and your glory — and the reasons are on screen. Your dad can be your personal coach, your grandparents grow old, and the family tree keeps growing. Wear your father's number, find his photo in the hall of fame… or get a statue of your own.

Online co-op for 2–6 friends


Play the same career at the same time, in a shared world: same leagues, same finals, the same transfer market. Team up (and get graded as a group) or go VS with dilemmas: play clean or betray? Lobby with code and Steam invites, bots to fill the seats, an endless mode where your kids take over… and head-to-head penalty shootouts against your mates.

1,100+ moments, decisions with consequences

Dressing room, manager, board, fans, transfers, international duty, press, sponsors, partners, kids, nights out, superstitions — and a nemesis who haunts you for your whole career. Choices come back seasons later, and your keeper's life is nothing like your striker's.

Life off the pitch


Your house, your car, your partner (with a personality of their own), the wedding, the kids, the yacht… and the consequences. Press conferences with teeth, front pages, memes and scandals.

Play it your way


  • Career: Express, Normal or Legend.
  • Online co-op & VS for 2–6 players.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game's writing (event cards, press conference questions, interface text) and its translations were created with the help of generative AI tools, then reviewed and edited by the developer. All graphics are drawn procedurally in code; no AI-generated images or audio are used, and no AI runs during gameplay.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Futbolero is a football career simulator with mature themes, shown through text and cartoon art: alcohol and nightlife, implied illegal drug use (a career can end in an overdose), a casino with roulette that uses in-game money only (no real money), infidelity and mild sexual innuendo, mild swearing, cartoon nightclub brawls without blood, and crimes such as referee bribery. Nothing is shown explicitly.
