Why DOMFC Exists

Not the Game You've
Been Playing for 20 Years

Football Manager is a spreadsheet with a match engine. DOMFC is a simulation of football as it actually happens. Here is what that means in practice.

Everyone Has a Story

Every scout, coach, physio, and referee is a fully simulated person with career arcs, personality, and hidden history. Not a stat block. No other football game simulates the people around the pitch, only the ones on it.

Women's Football Done Right

Same match engine, same career depth, same simulation fidelity as the men's game. Not a bolt-on mode unlocked in year three. Both exist in the same save file from day one. No other football management game has done this.

The Dark Side of Football

Match fixing. Espionage. Legal battles. Doping investigations. Age fraud. These are not scripted events you click past. They are emergent outcomes of a world that does not pretend football is clean. Most management games do.

500+ Nations and Territories

Every recognised nation, every disputed territory, every micro-state with a football association. Ghost clubs materialise on promotion so no pyramid ever ends. The world is complete, not a map with blank spots.

Buy Clubs. Found Clubs. Build an Empire.

Acquire struggling clubs in other countries, found entirely new ones, build continental affiliate networks. You are not just managing a squad. You are building football infrastructure across the world.

International Management

Manage a national team alongside your club career from day one. Not a separate save file. Same world, same politics, same players you know from the club game, now asking to miss your match for international duty.

Press Conferences That Matter

Your cultural background, reputation, and press history shape how answers land. A poorly worded response can unsettle a dressing room. A well-judged one can defuse a crisis before it starts. Words have consequences.

Real Lives Get in the Way

Marriages, mental health crises, family breakdowns, substance abuse, cultural clashes. Careers derail for human reasons. Yours might too. So might the career of your best player, your rival manager, or the referee officiating your cup final.

109 Attributes. One Person.

Every simulated person carries 109 individual attributes covering technical ability, mental makeup, physical condition, and hidden personality traits. Your physio has attributes too. So does the scout who lied to you about a player's potential.

Built for Steam Deck

Designed to be played flat on your lap on a train, at a desk with a mouse, or docked to a screen. Keyboard, controller, and touchscreen all work. One purchase, no subscription, no microtransactions.

About the Game

A Different Kind
of Football Game

DOMFC is a football management simulation built from first principles. Where other games put you in charge of a squad, DOMFC puts you in charge of a living world - a complete football ecosystem where the people surrounding your club have goals, flaws, and histories of their own.

The match engine runs the same simulation whether you're watching or not. Transfers happen, injuries strike, and careers arc across decades, all driven by 109 unique attributes per person and a deep personality system with over 100,000 simulated individuals.

Built for Steam Deck, Mac, and PC from the ground up, with full Steam Overlay, cloud saves, and achievements. A game you can pick up for fifteen minutes or lose a weekend to.

What no other game does

  • Potential that erodes, not reveals PA is not a hidden number you find out. It degrades through injuries, mental health, and neglect. A promising 18-year-old can become limited by how you handle them.
  • Positions earned through play, not assigned at birth No player is born a striker. Familiarity builds through training and match time. Full retraining is possible at any career stage.
  • Staff are people, not sliders Your chief scout has their own ability ceiling, personality, and development arc. Hire wrong and your entire scouting operation degrades. Your physio's attributes actually affect injury rates.
  • Real names via Workshop, zero legal risk The game ships with fictional names. Players apply a real-world override pack through Steam Workshop themselves. No licence needed. No takedown risk.
  • The same simulation runs whether you are watching or not AI clubs transfer, develop youth, appoint managers, and go bankrupt 24 hours a day. The world does not pause when you go on holiday. It carries on without you.
  • Attributes that mean the same thing in every game Pace 18 in the women's game is the fastest at that level. Pace 18 in the men's game is the fastest at that level. Gender-relative, not gender-penalised. The comparison is always fair.
