Footium has built an online football-management title where players act as club owners and managers, competing in real-time leagues featuring promotion, relegation, dynamic transfer markets and monthly seasons. The game emphasises social play, letting users face real opponents rather than AI and rewarding top-performing clubs with cash prizes funded by in-game spending. After three years of development and more than a dozen community playtests, the studio reported a sold-out sale of 3,000 Footium Clubs in 2021 and tens of thousands of competitive matches completed during testing. Over 3,000 clubs have already taken part in month-long beta seasons, validating demand for a head-to-head football-management experience. The company’s roadmap includes creator tools, enhanced player trading and features that foster long-term rivalries. Financially, Footium has attracted backing from both traditional gaming investors and high-profile sports figures, positioning it to scale its live-service model. The latest funding accompanies the game’s hard release, marking the transition from soft-launch testing to full commercial rollout.
