Football fans have spent the last 18 months writing their own football stories on Football Manager. Now it’s time to pause your virtual career and get back out there, out into the real world, to play your part in new football stories. 

This weekend, experience the thrill of live football again. 

Watch the club you fell in love with on Football Manager. Watch the players you’ve been developing over the last year and a half. Get a glimpse of new signings and scout players in the flesh with your own eyes. 

We’re teaming up with the EFL to celebrate the return of tickets, turnstiles, programmes and pies. Tweet us @FootballManager using #SofaToStadium with pictures of you at a stadium this coming Saturday (7th August) - we’ll be sharing the best posts and rewarding our favourites with some great prizes. 

Among the items we’re giving away are: 

-    2 x Nintendo Switch™ 
-    2 x tickets to an EFL fixture of your choosing*
-    3 x £50 club merchandise tokens

If you can’t get to a game, send us some shots and show us how you’re following along, through TV, radio or social media, giving football the attention it deserves this weekend. 

Once you’ve experienced euphoria, heartbreak, glee or frustration – your FM save will be there when you get back. Go out and get inspired by football in the flesh, then prove yourself in virtual world, the next best thing. 

Stay safe, have fun and good luck! 

The capturing of in-stadia photos is not permitted under EFL Ground Regulations. As such, only images captured en route to grounds or outside stadiums will be eligible for prizes. 

*If you live abroad, Football Manager will work with the EFL to provide a match streaming pass for one of your club’s future eligible games.
