Overview
Academy Soccer Manager, developed and published by TENZO, is a football management simulation that puts you in charge of a youth team. Released on October 9, 2026, the game lets you choose your starting point: a high school club in Japan or Korea, or the academy of a professional club in England, Spain, or Germany.
This is a cozy, character-focused take on the genre, blending sports management with 3D visuals and character customization.
Highlights
- Five countries, two paths: In Japan and Korea, you manage a high school club with regional leagues and national tournaments. In England, Spain, and Germany, you run a professional club's academy, where your budget depends on the parent club's performance.
- Deep player development: The core loop revolves around training and growing your young players, shaping them into future stars.
- Character customization and 3D presentation: The game includes character customization options and a 3D visual style, adding a personal touch to your squad.
- Multiplayer and Steam features: Supports multiplayer, Steam Achievements, and Family Sharing, making it easy to share the experience.
Who It's For
If you enjoy football management games but want a more intimate, youth-focused experience, this is for you. The high school setting in Japan and Korea offers a distinct atmosphere compared to the professional academy route, giving you two very different ways to play.
It's also a good pick for players who like character customization and a cozy, less hardcore simulation style.
