Format

edit

The tournament will be separated into a group stage and a final Fantasy Draft knockout stage. The 20 participants will be split into four groups of five, with each player managing the same club in their group through three in-game seasons. Players will be ranked based on league position, cup progress, and managerial ratings. Clubs will be set up identically to ensure equal playing conditions.

The four group winners will compete in a Fantasy Draft knockout competition, with the semi-finals and finals being played over two aggregate legs. The four semi-finalists are given US$274 million to draft a 25-player squad from a 2,500-player pool.[3]

Points distribution (group stage)

edit
  • League - 50 points for win, lower points are scored the further down a team is
    • For example, 1st place earns 50 points, 2nd earns 40 points
  • Cups - 2 points for winning individual rounds, 5 points for winning the final
  • Continental competitions - 5 points for advancing in the primary competition, 3 for advancing in the secondary competition
    • For winning, 15 points for the primary competition, 10 points for the secondary competition
  • Managerial rating - 10 points for an A, 8 for a B, 6 for a C
  • Challenge of the Day - Each manager is assigned a challenge to complete for each of the three days; 5 points for completion

Background

edit

Football Manager was announced as one of the two games that would be played at the FIFAe World Cup, alongside Rocket League,[4] after the FIFA game series by EA Sports was removed.[5] Arsène Wenger, former Arsenal manager, supported the project as an ambassador for the event.[6]

Qualification

edit

Each of the 19 invited confederations will host their own qualifying tournaments or to determine their representative or internally invite a player. Players who lived the invited countries can sign up to participate on the official FIFA esports website.[7][8] The All India Football Federation hosted their qualification tournament on 21 July 2024.[9] 9 other federations held their own online qualifiers, while the rest selected their entrants internally; federations with qualifiers could choose the next-best players if their winners couldn't travel to Liverpool. The official list, including assistant managers, was revealed on 17 August.
