Football Manager Online was the product of a unique strategy partnership between DaLe Games and SEGA Europe to bring the world's most authentic football management simulation to gamers across China.

A free-to-play version of the classic game, FM Online saw you build your own club and compete in online competitions that emphasised social components such as an online transfer system. You could also play quick ranked matches against other real managers of different levels at any time.

As you'd imagine, FM Online drew upon the series' huge database, deep tactical acumen and its 3D Match Engine technology to deliver an experience that would be familiar to fans elsewhere in the world.
