Footium Currency (FC)

What is FC?

FC is a new in-game currency tied to your club. It can't be traded, sold or used outside of Footium. It's earned through gameplay (or purchased in the store) and spent on developing your club. FC is tied to the club, just like coaching sessions. If a club is sold, its FC balance goes with it.

Every club that was active in Season 16 will receive some starter FC, depending on their division, to kickstart their stadium development journey.

How FC is Earned

There are three main ways to earn FC:

1. Home Matches

Every home match generates FC based on three factors:

• Stadium Capacity: the bigger your stadium, the more you earn. Your capacity is the baseline.
• Match Result: wins earn a bonus, draws are the baseline, losses earn less.
• Division: higher divisions have higher earning multipliers, meaning staying up is financially rewarding for your club.

As a rough guide: a draw in the lowest division earns FC slightly below your capacity due to Division 8 having the lowest division multiplier. Win and you earn more. Lose and you earn less. Climb the divisions and every match becomes significantly more valuable.

With 11 home matches per season, your stadium capacity and league position combine to determine a huge chunk of your seasonal FC income.

Important: If your club fields an ineligible team for a home match (e.g. missing players in a slot, or a suspended/injured player in the lineup), you won't earn any FC from that match. Make sure your squad is properly set before kick-off.

2. End-of-Season League Rewards

FC is also distributed at the end of each season based on your division and final league position.

Higher divisions receive significantly larger reward pools, and finishing higher in your league earns you a bigger share. This is designed so that a mid-table finish in a higher division is financially better than winning a lower one, discouraging tanking and rewarding managers who compete to stay up.

3. Other Sources

FC can also be earned through competitions, community events, quizzes and other systems across the game. More details on these as they roll out.

Purchasing FC

FC is also available to purchase through the store, similar to how coaching sessions work today. This gives managers who want to accelerate their stadium development the option to do so, while keeping the currency earnable through gameplay for everyone.

There are different sized FC packages available, with discounts for bulk purchases.

Spending FC

FC is spent in the Footium store on stadium stand upgrades. See the Stadiums article for full upgrade costs and details.

How It All Connects

1. You earn FC from home matches and league rewards
2. You spend FC to upgrade your stadium
3. A bigger stadium earns you more FC per match and gives you a stronger home advantage
4. A stronger home advantage helps you win more and stay in higher divisions
5. Higher divisions mean even more FC per match and larger end-of-season rewards

This loop rewards long-term club building - exactly the kind of progression Footium is built around. Other ways to spend your FC and improve your club are planned for the future. Stadiums are just the beginning.
