THE NEXT CHAPTER IS YOURS
One player. A whole football life.
FootLife is a free football career simulation game. Start at a youth academy at 15 and decide how to train, when to transfer and how to handle every defining moment.
Choices shape your career
There is more than goals and trophies. Manager trust, fatigue, injuries and life off the pitch are all part of your journey.
One seed, different possibilities
Revisit a familiar world and make a different choice. Try new positions and nationalities to collect your own career stories.
FootLife: from the academy to professional football
Your FootLife story starts at 15. Choose a nationality and position, make childhood and academy decisions, then work toward professional football. This text-based career simulator asks you to weigh squad competition, playing time and development when deciding whether to stay, go on loan or transfer. Each choice shapes your path from academy prospect to professional.
Shape your career through training, matches and transfers
Will you be a clinical striker, a creative midfielder or a reliable defender? Train shooting, passing, pace and defending to suit your position while managing fatigue, injuries, form and manager trust. Attributes and condition affect match choices. As a professional, you also face decisions about contracts, wages, squad roles and national-team opportunities.

BEFORE KICK-OFF
Before you kick off
What is FootLife?
FootLife is a free, text-based football career simulator. Start as a 15-year-old academy player and shape your training, match decisions, contracts, transfers, national-team career and retirement. It focuses on career choices rather than real-time football controls.
Do I need to download anything or sign up?
No account or installation package is required. Play in a phone, tablet or desktop browser. Supported browsers also let you add the game to your home screen.
How do I start a football career?
Enter a player name on the home page, choose goalkeeper, defender, midfielder or forward, then select a specific position and nationality. Start your career, complete the childhood choices and join a youth team.
Where is my progress saved? What happens if I refresh?
Career saves, achievements, past lives, leaderboards and settings are stored in this browser’s localStorage. The game saves at the start of each season. After refreshing, resume from that season’s start; unfinished choices within the season must be replayed.
Can I continue on another phone or browser?
Yes, through a manual backup. Open Save backup on the home page, download the complete JSON file, and import it on another device or browser. There is no automatic sync. Importing merges history and achievements while preserving existing progress and settings.
Can I play FootLife offline?
An internet connection is needed for the first visit. Once a supported browser has cached the resources through its service worker, cached game resources can be used offline. A language or font that has not yet been cached may still require a connection.
