Openfoot Manager is a free and open source football/soccer manager game, licensed under the [GPLv3](LICENSE.md), inspired by the management genre that Football Manager™, Championship Manager and Bygfoot built.

It is not a clone of any of them. There is no licensed database, no online requirement, and no monetization — instead the world is data you author and share, and the depth is a dial you set. Read [VISION.md](VISION.md) for what that means and where the project is going.

FEATURES

• Full squad management for roles, depth planning, and player development decisions.

• Dynamic inbox and news generation that keeps you updated on club and world events.
• Scouting support for discovering talent and evaluating future signings.
