London, England – November 4th, 2020 – Sports Interactive™ (SI) can today reveal the newest club in football – FMFC. The latest club to make its mark on the modern game, FMFC brings Football Manager fans closer to the game they love with members being the first to get their eyes on the big news about the game.
FMFC members will also have access to a suite of exclusive content over the lifecycle of FM21 and beyond, including feature drops in the run up to the full release of FM21 and gameplay insights to help them get more out of their FM experience once they have their hands on the game.
From now until the end of the season, there will be a weekly giveaway of the FMFC jersey, as seen on the FM21 artwork and release date video. The shirt has been designed by Nomad – the studio behind the Premier League rebrand – and brought to life by our friends at Hummel and in collaboration with our long-standing partners, War Child and Kick It Out. The home shirt will only be available through FMFC.
Fans can sign up for FMFC from today at www.footballmanager.com.
FMFC content is not only exclusive, but aims to be more relevant to fans’ needs, with insider tips and guides suitable to the games they play, and the platforms they play on. To take advantage of this, fans simply need to link their FMFC profile to their Epic Games or Steam account or by selecting which platforms they play FM on during the FMFC sign-up process.
Over time, we’ll learn more about our players and be better placed to support their journey with the right content at the right times.
By joining FMFC, fans will also enjoy contract bonuses in the form of member-only incentives and competitions as our way of saying thanks for their commitment to the club.
Anyone who signs ups to become an FMFC member before November 8th at 23:59 GMT will be automatically in the draw for a chance to win a top-spec gaming laptop and one of 100 copies of Football Manager 2021 for PC/Mac.
Sports Interactive’s studio director, Miles Jacobson, said: “The Football Manager community is heavily engaged with us and extremely passionate about the game so we wanted to create a place where we can bring the community closer to our work and reward them for their support which has been even more appreciated this year. We can’t wait to see FMFC grow over the months and years to come.”
FM21 releases on November 24th and FMFC hopes to play a part in helping fans achieve their goals over the course of the campaign.
