Watford F.C.
When the Hornets made it to the Playoff final at Wembley in the 2012/13 season, it was with Football Manager on their shirts, as the front sponsor. Since then, we’ve increased our presence at Vicarage Road by sponsoring the scoreboard, taking out pitchside advertising and displaying FM’s logo on the dugout seats. Our long-standing relationship with Watford just got longer, as we’ve extended once again.

AFC Wimbledon
Our relationship with AFC Wimbledon isn’t just one of our longest, it's one of the longest in League football. We’ve been their main shirt sponsor since the club began in 2002. Set up by a group of fans after a new club was awarded Wimbledon's league place and players, the club has gone on to achieve serious feats. We couldn’t be prouder to be by their side through it all.

Kick It Out
Sports Interactive has supported Kick It Out’s work to end discrimination within sport for twenty years (and counting). When Football Manager was first released, you couldn’t miss the ‘Let’s Kick Racism Out of Football’ logo on the landing page.

Today, we incorporate the branding within FM’s in-game advertising and keep the Kick It Out logo locked to its loading sequence.
