Frequently Asked Questions

What's this game about?

Openfoot Manager is a game where you can manage a football team, just like you can do in games such as Football Manager, FIFA Manager, Championship Manager, Elifoot, and etc.


This project was inspired by a game called Bygfoot, which is sort of a free and open source alternative to Football Manager. Bygfoot is written in C and the interface is written in GTK 2. It's pretty outdated for today's standards, and the original developers no longer maintain the project, with a few players still active on it.


I wanted to develop a game using the technologies I was most comfortable with, so I wrote the base of the game in Python back in 2020 as a hobby project. Initially, I didn't know what I was doing, so the game went through several rewrites, and eventually, it became what I'm working right now. Just recently I got more comfortable to invest more time into this project and try to bring it to life just as I envisioned it.


Right now the game is still in development, and I'm using a mix of web technologies to build its UI.

Who is the author of this game?

You can find me on GitHub as Sturdy Robot. I'm a 28-year-old programmer from Brazil. I love games and I experiment with a lot of different programming projects.

Where can I download the game?

Unfortunately, we don't have a public release yet, only debugging versions that require installing Python to run. As soon as the first public release comes out, I'll update this website accordingly.

Can I see the games in 3D?

My idea with this game was to build a simple simulation engine, similar to what Football Manager and Championship Manager did on their early days. You can see the descriptions of what happens in the matches, but no visual representation.


3D is very hard to pull off for a single developer. Maybe it's something we can work on in the future.

When is version 1.0 coming out?

Unfortunately, I don't have a release date yet. I have a full-time job, and I work on this during my spare time or whenever I feel like it. I also have many projects that I'm working on at the same time, so my attention is not entirely focused here. As a sister project, I also have eSports Manager, which is my version of an eSports management game, which is also free and open source.


If you want the project to release earlier, you can submit your own contributions. Just check out how you can contribute here.
