Evaluation

WE ARE FOOTBALL launched on June 10, 2021 and received a steady stream of feature updates throughout 2021 (Updates 2 through 13), culminating in one paid DLC — National Teams — which released on November 14, 2022. That DLC added international competitions and national team management for both men's and women's squads. The developer's news posts show no unreleased DLC and no announced future content for this game. The most notable developer communication since the DLC launch is a March 4, 2024 post announcing that a sequel — WE ARE FOOTBALL 2024 — had released as a separate product on Steam. This is a strong indicator that development focus has shifted entirely to the sequel, and no further content for the original game has been announced or shipped since the National Teams DLC in November 2022. The last update of any kind to the original game that appears in the news history was in early 2022. With the sequel now out, the original WE ARE FOOTBALL appears to have concluded its content lifecycle with the National Teams DLC as its final release.

About this game

As a manager and trainer in WE ARE FOOTBALL, you’ll come face to face with the latest trends in the world of football, experiencing all the emotional highs and lows of your favorite club.

For the first time ever, this modern football manager game also offers a women’s football game mode, featuring all the same functionality as well as many unique gameplay elements. To maintain and ensure the highest quality across all game modes, WE ARE FOOTBALL has been developed with experienced football management veterans such as Gerald Köhler, Rolf Langenberg, and Dirk Winter.



You’ll get immediate feedback for every decision, big and small. You’ll have to plan out your deadlines effectively in the game, and will only be truly successful in the club by working together with your colleagues.



WE ARE FOOTBALL focuses on real management tasks. The goal of the game is to build up the club over the long haul, including growing the team, colleagues, infrastructure, fans, and more. As a result, the football players in the game are individual personalities who spin their own stories.



A season can be played through in a few hours: You’re in the middle of the action after just a few minutes. Alone, several seasons can be played through in one afternoon, and two players can even finish a season in an evening.

There’s always new challenges to face in WE ARE FOOTBALL. The bigger the club, the bigger the challenge!
