Football Manager 26 integrates women's football to enhance visibility

Football Manager 26 has launched with an integrated women's football database, allowing players to manage female teams and players. This effort began in 2021, led by Tina Keech, to improve representation in a sport dominated by men. The project reflects the growth in women's football, noted during the England Lionesses' victory at Euro 2022. The game aims to accurately represent women’s football with a dedicated research team working on the database, which currently includes over 12,000 players. The incorporation of women's football presents a unique opportunity to engage existing players with new content.
