About

PlayFootballSim (https://playfootballsim.com) is a free, browser-based football management game. You choose one of 48 national teams, build a starting XI, set formation and tactics, then play through a full group stage and knockout tournament — either match-by-match or with quick simulation.

The site also publishes original reference content: squad lists with player ratings, group draw tables, a detailed how-to-play guide, and a Monte Carlo tool that estimates tournament odds for any nation.

PlayFootballSim is operated by an independent publisher as an unofficial fan project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any official football competition, governing body, national association, club, or player.

Player names, team names, and competition formats are used for identification and entertainment only. Squad ratings and simulation results are fictional game outputs, not official statistics or predictions.

• Browse all 48 national squads with player overalls and likely starting XIs.
• View the full group draw and see which nations share each group.
• Read the how-to-play guide covering squad building, fitness, matchday controls, and knockouts.
• Run thousands of fast tournament simulations on the home page or any team page to explore title odds and stage breakdowns.
• Start a full interactive tournament run — no account or download required.

Your progress is saved in your browser's local storage so you can return later on the same device. Match simulation uses in-game ratings, tactics, fitness, and form — not live betting data or real-world fixtures.

If you choose to share a tournament report, only the match results you generate are stored on our servers to create a public link. Sharing is optional.
