SEGA Football Club Champions Overview

SFCC is a new football management simulator all about training up-and-coming athletes and guiding your team to success. As the manager of a newly formed club, it’s your job to take a local squad of semi-pros and turn them into world-class footballers. Pick a club in your hometown or favourite city, mentor your players, and overcome a slew of trials and tribulations on your journey to the top!

SFCC is officially licensed by Meiji Yasuda J.League and will feature players from all 60 J1–J3 clubs. In addition, you can recruit over 5,000 real footballers from major European leagues, FIFPRO, K League, and more. We’re also delighted to announce that we’ve partnered with Manchester City FC!
