Football Manager 2022 has arrived and the Football Supporters’ Association is delighted to make its debut in the legendary management sim.
The new partnership complements existing information from our supporter networks that already features in the game and will see the FSA logo pop-up as pitchside adverts.
We’re always looking for ways to promote supporter activism and, given the depth of Football Manager’s realism, it’s entirely fitting that the FSA should appear in-game.
The FSA isn’t the first campaigning organisation to appear in Football Manager – our friends at Kick It Out have long-featured while Women In Football’s branding also appears in 2022.
Such are the lengths that the game’s developers go to for realism nowadays, Football Manager even includes fan-elected directors.
And that is much to the excitement of FSA Board member and Grimsby Town supporter director Kristine “Cool Mum” Green. Ahem…
Officially a cool mum 🤓
Whatever happens for the rest of my life, you can’t take this away from me 🤣
Thanks to @SteelsRest for the heads up and pic hahahaha pic.twitter.com/2UYkDbCU1G

Football reform was once again up for debate in Parliament as a whole host of football figures appeared in front of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee – including Kevin Miles, Chief Executive of the Football Supporters’ Association.
Against a backdrop of the national lockdown, the Trident Leagues at Steps 3 and 4 (Northern Premier, Southern and Isthmian) have indicated a preference to cancel all remaining league fixtures. They are surveying their member clubs for their views on whether to continue with the 2020/21 season.
The FSA is recruiting a Premier League network manager to join our team, and are looking for an excellent communicator who is passionate about football and understands the importance of the supporters’ voice within the industry.
The Football Supporters’ Association is the democratic, membership-based organisation working to represent the interests of football supporters in England and Wales.
