A note from the touchline
Football is
more than highlights.
The Dugout is for the moment after the whistle — when you are already thinking about the next signing.
It is a deep, text-based football management game for iOS and Android, built for players who want to make the call and picture what happens next.
The long read
A paper for your club.
The Dugout takes the feeling of an old-school football paper and turns it into a full management world. The interface stays warm and readable so the football can stay complicated: transfers, contracts, tactics, finances, scouting, youth development, and cup competitions.
Your club has its own financial identity. Your players have more to discover. The Gazette reports on the wider league, while board decisions and story events make a season feel like a chain of choices instead of a checklist.
There are no animated match highlights because the best ones happen in your imagination. A Poisson-based simulation engine gives every match a structure; the narration gives it a pulse.
Made for managers
The deep stuff, without the noise.
If you enjoy squad building, stats, and the peculiar thrill of finding a player nobody else has noticed yet, you are in the right place. Start with the free demo, then unlock the complete game for £4.99 when you are ready.
