About the game

Kickoff Academy: Football Tycoon hands you a park pitch, one crate of balls and a bus stop where kids show up hoping for a trial. You sign them, haul equipment to the drills and pocket the fees they pay as their numbers grow. Each trainee has a position, stats and a rarity, and the best of them are Wonderkids.

Graduation is the decision point: take a transfer fee from a bigger club or keep the player for your own squad. Away days are short and hinge on timing the Power Shot, and results push you up through the divisions. Staff you hire handle the chores and keep earning while you are gone.

How to play

  • Desktop: move with WASD or the arrow keys, or keep the left mouse button held to head toward the pointer.
  • Step on pads to open up new areas, and pass through dropped cash to pick it up.
  • In matches, hit Space or left click for the Power Shot; on a phone, drag anywhere to move and tap to shoot.
  • Spend earnings in the Manager's Office on upgrades and staff who automate the academy.
