Back in 2021, Football Manager presented a plan to introduce women's football into the game itself, and now that plan has been realized through this sequel. FM states that their vision has always been one ecosystem, that is, to integrate women's football as it is in the real world. SEGA and Sports Interactive did not want to make a separate game for women's football, but the desire was to create an ecosystem in which you can successively manage women's and men's teams.
You start FM26 so you can choose whether you want to lead a men's team, a women's team or start as unemployed.
The FM26 women's football database consists of more than 36,000 players and an additional 5,000 non-players.
The game will feature 14 leagues in 11 countries on 3 continents, including the following licensed competitions:
- Barclays Women's Super League (Engleska)
- Barclays Women's Super League 2 (Engleska)
- National Women's Soccer League (USA)
- Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany)
- WE League (Japan)
- Serie A Feminine (Italy)
- OBOS Damallsvenskan (Sweden)
- Elitettan (Sweden)
- A-League (Denmark)
- A-League Women (Australia)
- Adran Premier (Wales)
- UEFA Women's Champions League (Europe)
FM notes that it took them 30 years to build the current database for soccer players, and they state that their goal in the coming years is to build the largest and most accurate database on women's soccer. For the realization of the same FM, there is a research team available, which currently has 40 members.
Each soccer player in FM will be able to have a maximum of 20 points for each attribute/segment, just like their fellow soccer players.
What distinguishes women's football from men's football is also applied in the game itself, so the most significant differences are in contracts, finances and the transfer market. In women's football, contracts are shorter and buyout clauses are rare. In women's football within FM, the club's income and average salary expenses were adjusted, all so that this simulation reflected reality as much as possible.
