About this game

Build your own soccer empire!

Create a football club from scratch, starting as a tiny non-league team, and see if you can make it through seven divisions to the very top.

Hire and fire managers, develop your stadium, negotiate transfers, contracts and sponsorship deals... while keeping the fans and the bank manager happy.

Over three million users have downloaded the Football Chairman games since launch, and they have won multiple app store awards, including the Apple Editor’s “Best of 2016”, “Best of 2014” and “Best of 2013”, as well as Google Play’s “Best of 2015”.

This free version is a full, completely playable game with a few of the non-essential "Pro" features disabled. Your chairman career lasts 30 seasons before you have to retire - can you make it to the top before that happens?

Features include:

- Fast-paced, addictive gameplay
- Seven English divisions to conquer
- Hire and fire managers
- Build your stadium and facilities
- Interact with the supporters
- Take control of transfers and contract negotiations
- Develop the club's youth and training facilities
- Set the prices of tickets
- Offer bonuses to the players
- Negotiate sponsorship deals
- Transfer-list or loan unwanted players
- Pre-season friendlies
- And much more!

Good luck... you'll need it!

Updating original review from 2016.Great game, still play and enjoy fully. Pro is worth it and have had zero problems when installing on new phones; download and it's there with no fuss or having to deal with customer service. An oddity these days. Would be nice if a coach actually recommended more players that fit his system. Too often I lose a whole transfer period without a glaring hole in my roster being filled. Would also be nice if a coach changed philosophy before the transfer period.

I've played this hardcore for days and done 12 years, so here's my opinion: you have to watch all 10 ads at the start of the season for a massive cash injection lest you go bankrupt or get relegated. Can't choose which positions to focus transfer searches on. Can't properly develop youth team because seeing it is locked behind a paywall. Otherwise a top drawer game. Lose the ads and give us the youth team and it's a 4 or 5; it's hardly "offline" when we're forced to watch 10 ads per season!

It's an addictive game, once you start it's hard to stop. I can understand why some are frustrated with it. One wrong turn can wreck a season. The game tips are helpful. For example, if you get offered a million quid for a star player, accept, and see if an equivalent player is offered for less. Do the deal and strengthen another area of the team. There's an underlying system to it, and I've finally won the Premier League! In my very last season as chairman, and on the very last game.
