Game rules

Understand careers and competitions before your next move.

Goal and start

Manage a national team, starting with an eligible Division E team even in quick start. Difficulty, squad, tactics and decisions affect simulation.

Calendar

Season windows cover Nations League, the cycle’s main tournament and qualifiers. The Hub shows the next match and window. Finish fixtures and pending decisions before advancing.

Divisions and qualification

Nations League uses divisions A–E. Tables show points and tiebreaks; the engine determines promotion, relegation and qualification. One win does not guarantee promotion or a World Cup place.

World Cup and continental tournaments

The game’s World Cup has 48 teams; continental tournaments and Challenge Cup include eligible teams. Competition screens show groups and knockouts. The landing-page bracket simulator is separate and involves no money pool.

Lineup, halftime and injuries

Field a fit goalkeeper. Adjust tactics and permitted substitutions during matches. Halftime, pauses or injuries may require action. Retirement and availability change your squad.

Training, finances and reputation

Training boosts the next match and is consumed then. Finances, stadium, morale and reputation change through decisions and results. Virtual money cannot be withdrawn and is not real money.

Results and speed

Attributes, decisions and engine-controlled randomness determine results. Faster playback or skipping narration does not guarantee a score. Review before simulating a season’s remainder; save progress after actions.

Offers and career end

Results and reputation may cause offers or dismissal. Resolve Hub offers to continue when needed. The local Hall of Fame records ended careers and differs from online rankings.

Fair play and sharing

Share voluntarily with a public-safe coach name. Do not manipulate saves or public ranking validation. The game offers no betting, cash prizes or guaranteed real sporting results.

Referral rules

Each friend must use your link, finish a match and confirm a new account. Quick Result counts. No purchase required. Sharing alone does not count. Valid referrals do not expire.
