HEY FOOTBALLERS!

The moment many of you have been waiting for, for years, has finally arrived — what once seemed impossible is now becoming reality. National teams are coming to FootballTeam.

For a long time, we’ve been gathering your feedback, suggestions, and ideas on how this mode should look. Today, we can finally present the result of our shared work — a brand-new competition model based on national team rivalry.

Introducing NATIONAL TEAMS — a new seasonal server offering unique rewards, as well as medals and trophies unavailable anywhere else.

SERVER START: 18.03.2026

Welcome to FootballTeam World Cup — an elite national team server where strategy, squad selection, player health management, and true sporting competition are what matter most.
No shortcuts. No artificial progress boosting. Just pure competition for the world champion title.

What will gameplay on this server look like, and why is it worth joining?

64 National Teams

The server will feature 64 national teams — from powerhouses like Spain, Argentina, and France, to Brazil, Germany, and England, as well as less obvious selections such as Vatican City, North Korea, and Burkina Faso.

Each national team starts with 20 player slots ready to be filled. This means that initially only a limited number of players can join a specific team. However, the number of slots may increase depending on the total number of players on the server.

Current assumptions estimate that for every available slot, there will be around 3 interested players. We want competition to begin from day one — and for only the best players to make it into the squads.

Taking Over a National Team: How to Claim Your Dream Team?

We want national teams to be led by the most active and competitive players, which is why we’ve introduced a simple takeover rule.

To take control of a national team, a player must meet the required OVR level.

Every day at 12:00, the required OVR value will decrease by 500 points.

After taking control of a national team, the player who becomes its manager can invite selected players to the squad and grant them deputy permissions.

A player can take over only one national team during the World Cup server. This means that the decision to manage a national team is a one-time, irreversible choice when it comes to leading any other squad.

After taking over a team, it is possible to transfer leadership to a selected player — for example, a club teammate. However, it’s important to remember that simply becoming a manager — whether by personally claiming a national team or by being invited to co-manage it — permanently blocks the possibility of taking over any other national team in the future.

For example: if you take control of France and later your friends invite you to manage Poland, it will no longer be possible. You can still join as a player, but you won’t be able to serve as a manager because you previously decided to take charge of another national team.

Choosing a national team is a strategic decision for the entire championship season, so make sure to think it through carefully.

What Do National Team Clubs Look Like?

In each of the 64 national teams, players will receive a unique club designed for the most ambitious competitors.

• Clubs are upgraded to the maximum level.

• All Academy perks are fully unlocked.

• Each club starts with 10,000 Team Points and 250,000 fans.

• Players can freely use Team Points — further extension is not mandatory.

• Manufacturing and the Distillery are at maximum levels, allowing the creation of a wide variety of items.

List of National Teams

Gameplay Rules

FootballTeam World Cup is a server designed like a real-world championship. The competition is divided into three main stages, each with clearly defined rules, structure, and rewards.

This is not just a regular season. This is a full-scale championship cycle.

🥇 Season 1 – Preliminary Phase (63 days)

The first stage is one massive, shared league.

• All 64 national teams are placed into a single group.

• Each team plays against every other opponent.

• 2 matches are played daily.

• The season lasts a total of 63 days.

There are no friendlies in this phase — only direct competition between national teams. Every point matters, as this is where the ranking is built, determining seeding pots for the next stage.

Preliminary phase rewards:

• Participation Trophy

• Top Scorer Award

• Top Assist Award

• Best Goalkeeper Award

• Best Defender Award

After the season ends, there is a 7-day break. This is the final opportunity to change your national team. Once the group stage begins, changing national colors will no longer be possible.

From that point on, the national team you choose becomes your team until the end of the tournament. The decision is final — so it’s worth thinking it through carefully right from the start.

🥈 Season 2 – Group Stage (30 days)

After the preliminary phase, the 64 teams are divided into 8 groups of 8 teams each.

The division is based on results from Season 1. Eight seeding pots are created (1–8, 9–16, 17–24, etc.), and each group receives one randomly drawn team from each pot. This ensures fair and balanced competition.

• Each national team plays 28 matches.

• Friendlies are enabled (they consume health).

• Transfers are locked — no players can be added or removed.

This stage is all about squad stability and consistency.

Promotion:

• 1st–4th place in each group → Masters Tournament

• 5th–8th place in each group → Challengers Tournament

After the group stage, there is another 7-day preparation break before the final tournaments begin.

🥉 Season 3 – Knockout Stage

This is the most exciting moment of the entire championship.

The top 32 national teams compete in the Masters Tournament.
The remaining 32 teams compete in the Challengers Tournament.

The competition follows a knockout bracket system (Round of 32 → Final). Every match can decide everything.

Transfers remain locked. Squads must finish the tournament with the exact same lineup they started with.

Knockout Stage Rewards:

• Champion’s Trophy

• Runner-up Trophy

• Rewards for 3rd and 4th place

• Individual awards for the best players of the knockout stage

🏆 FootballTeam World Cup Rewards

Participating in the FootballTeam World Cup is above all a fight for prestige — a moment where you etch your name into the history of the game.

It’s also real wealth for those who reach the very top. Legendary trophies and exclusive medals await — rewards you won’t find in any other game mode.

Prestige

Winning the World Cup grants the highest possible prestige in FootballTeam.

The national teams finishing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the Main Tournament will receive something truly unique — a special edition of the “FOOTBALLTEAM LEGENDS – NATIONAL TEAMS” cards.

These are not ordinary cards. This is a limited, tournament-only edition, available exclusively to World Cup podium finishers.

What’s more — it’s worth fighting until the very end, as the tier of the cards you receive will depend on your team’s final standing.

🔥 This is the one and only opportunity to get a guaranteed FootballTeam Legend card in its national team edition.

Here, it’s not just about a medal — it’s about claiming legend status.

History

The World Cup is a tournament that will go down in the game’s history.

A special Hall of Fame will appear on the FootballTeam homepage, featuring:

• List of winners

• Medals won

• Trophies

• Individual achievements

• Stats of the top players

This won’t be an ordinary season recap — it will be a digital showcase of FootballTeam world champions.

Your character names, national teams, and accomplishments will be immortalized as part of FootballTeam history — for present and future generations of players.

Wealth

The World Cup also offers real wealth for those who reach the top.

  10,250,000 CREDITS FOR 1000 PLAYERS!

The top 1,000 players will receive a guaranteed reward, with its value depending on their ranking.

The total prize pool to be won is 10,250,000 Credits.

INDIVIDUAL REWARDS

Best-Trained Player

Regardless of your club’s results, you can compete for the podium of the best-trained national team player.

The winner will become a millionaire — literally! The Top 1 player receives 1,000,000 Credits for their chosen character.

Players who finish in the Top 10 of the trained player ranking will receive, in addition to credit rewards, something truly special — a special edition of the “FOOTBALLTEAM LEGENDS – NATIONAL TEAMS” cards from the MasterClass Collection.

These are not ordinary cards. This is a limited, tournament-only edition, available exclusively for World Cup podium finishers.

Additionally, the Top 10 will receive a highlighted spot on the FootballTeam Hall of Fame, ensuring their achievements are immortalized in the game’s history.

Most Powerful World Cup Player

The ranking for the most powerful World Cup player is a separate arena of competition.

Here, your national team’s results don’t matter — only your personal development and dominance over other players count.

The final OVR score is influenced by every aspect of progression:

• Items

• Card slots

• Card levels

• Training

• Item enchanting

• Bonuses and boosts

Literally every aspect of player development matters.

The Top 10 players with the highest OVR will receive rewards as powerful as their stats. Importantly, rewards do not exclude each other.

If you achieve 1st place in the training ranking and simultaneously become the highest OVR player, you will receive all applicable rewards, including dedicated cards in the exclusive “GOATS” collection, created for the absolute elite of the server.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – OVR RANKING SNAPSHOT

For Credit rewards for the Top 1000 OVR and Individual Top 1 OVR, the final ranking will be determined by the official snapshot.

On the day of the FootballTeam World Cup finals, exactly one hour after the final match ends, a snapshot of the OVR ranking will be taken. This moment will determine the distribution of rewards.

The snapshot will be published on our Discord, allowing every player to verify their position at the time.

This snapshot will serve as the only valid basis for awarding Credit prizes.

MASTERS TOURNAMENT PODIUM REWARDS

The Masters Tournament is the absolute pinnacle of the FootballTeam World Cup. Here, the strongest national teams compete, the pressure is at its highest, and the world champions are made.

Reaching the podium is proof of dominance, consistency, and a perfectly built squad. For the winners, we’ve prepared massive rewards for players from the Top 3 national teams in the Masters Tournament.

These are not symbolic prizes — these are rewards worthy of the best teams in the world – prestige, Credits, unique cards and a permanent place in the game’s history.

It’s important to remember that Credit rewards are just one part of the prizes — the top 3 teams will also receive their FootballTeam Legend cards and a spot on the Hall of Fame.

ATTENTION 

It’s important to note that Credits will be distributed via codes, which we’ll send directly to the email linked to your player account. You’ll be able to redeem this code on any character on any server after the FootballTeam World Cup concludes.

ADDITIONAL REWARDS FOR THE PRELIMINARY PHASE

The preliminary phase is the foundation of the entire World Cup. Over 63 days of competition, you’ll build your position on the leaderboard and fight for the best seeding going into the next stage. Every match counts, and every effort will be rewarded.

Simply participating in the preliminary phase earns a commemorative trophy: “World Cup Participant – Preliminary Phase”, serving as proof of involvement in the historic first edition of the tournament.

This phase also recognizes individual players who excel in their roles. The preliminary stage isn’t just about leaderboard placement — it’s the first chance to earn trophies and make your mark in the tournament’s history.

ADDITIONAL REWARDS FOR THE GROUP PHASE

The group stage is where competition reaches the next level. There’s no room for luck here — consistency, squad stability, and peak performance in key moments are what count.

In addition to fighting for advancement, players can earn prestigious individual awards.

The most important stakes of the group stage are advancement:

• 1st–4th place in the group → Masters Tournament

• 5th–8th place in the group → Challengers Tournament

The Masters Tournament is the elite path — a fight for the World Champion title.

The Challengers Tournament is the secondary knockout path, where teams can still win trophies and rewards.

Every match matters. Every point could decide whether you compete in Masters or finish the tournament without a chance at gold.

ADDITIONAL REWARDS FOR THE KNOCKOUT PHASE

The knockout phase is the ultimate climax. This is where the World Cup champion is crowned and the most prestigious tournament trophies are awarded.

In addition to competing for the title, we’ll also award individual honors for the top players of the knockout stage:

• ⚽ Top Scorer of the Knockout Phase

• 🎯 Top Assist Provider of the Knockout Phase

• 🧤 Best Goalkeeper of the Knockout Phase

• 🛡 Best Defender of the Knockout Phase

These awards go to players who dominated the most critical matches of the season.

The top national teams will also claim the most important tournament trophies:

• 🥇 World Cup Champion Trophy

• 🥈 Runner-up Trophy

• 🥉 3rd Place Award

• 🏅 4th Place Award

Below, we’ll showcase the trophies and statues that teams will compete for during the knockout phase.

SERVER SETTINGS

FootballTeam World Cup has been designed as a pure competition server. Every player starts on equal footing, with no hidden advantages or mechanical shortcuts.

Each player receives a green Galacticos set, providing a shared foundation for development. National team clubs have access to all key buildings, allowing full use of infrastructure from day one. Each player can perform 4 trainings simultaneously. The number of crystals required to unlock each augmentation level has been reduced from 50 to 10.

The World Cup server has no artificial progress acceleration. Settings are as follows:

• XP Boost: 0%

• Energy Reduction: 0%

• Euro Reduction: 0%

• Work Bonus: 0%

This means that results depend on active participation, strategy, and resource management, not extra multipliers.

❤️ Health and Recovery

Health plays a key role in national team strategy.

Each match reduces a player’s health by 6%. In the first season, with 2 matches per day, that’s a 12% daily health loss.

Base recovery restores 9% health per day.

Additional recovery can be gained through:

• Using the SPA building

• Activating the Regenerat and Regeneron perks

Importantly, even if a player’s health drops to 0%, they are not removed from the team and remain part of the national squad. 

Health is a tactical factor but does not block tournament participation.

⚙️ Overload System on the World Cup Server – Special Rules

The World Cup server features a special, modified version of the Overload system, tailored for national team competition.

This is a seasonal server where pace, planning, and equal conditions matter — therefore, Overload does not function the same as on classic servers.

Key principle:

Overload is designed to support strategy and squad management, not block development or eliminate teams with overly strict restrictions.

✅ What’s changed in Overload for the World Cup?

The server uses a special Overload table, adjusted for the tournament-style national team competition.

The system works progressively, based on the number of TOP 30 players (with trained specialities) in a single national team.

XP Table

The FootballTeam World Cup server uses a progression system based on the XP table and a soft cap.

This means the old flat training system (400 trainings = 1 PTS) is no longer applied — even on the national team server.

World Cup is elite competition, so the foundation of progression must be healthy, scalable, and abuse-resistant.

🎟 Season Pass & Calendar – World Cup

The Season Pass and Calendar have been adapted to the tournament structure of the World Cup.

🥇 Preliminary Phase – 63 Days

The Season Pass and Calendar will run throughout the 63-day preliminary phase.

This is the longest stage of the tournament, so the reward system is designed to accompany players through the intense league competition.

Price: 29.99 EUR for the full 63 days.

🥈 Group Stage – 30 days

Upon entering the group stage, a new Season Pass and Calendar start for 30 days.

Rewards are adapted for this shorter, more dynamic stage.

🥉 Knockout Stage   

No active Season Pass or Calendar.

This stage is purely about trophies, prestige, and history.

Success depends entirely on form, squad, and on-field decisions.

World Cup is a tournament with a clear structure, and the Season Pass & Calendar reflect that rhythm.

🔄 Character Destination After the Server

FootballTeam World Cup is seasonal. Its cycle ends with the conclusion of the knockout phase.

After the finals have been played and the world champion has been crowned, the closing stage of the competition will begin.

🔁 Character Transfer After the Tournament

Players have 7 days after the knockout phase to pay for a transfer of their character to the Legacy server.

After this period, all accounts are automatically transferred to the Classic server.

💰 Important Information About Credits

Credit rewards are not tied directly to characters on the World Cup server.

Instead:

• You will receive a special reward code,

• The code will be sent directly to the email associated with your account

• Redeemable on any character, on any server where you play

• Redeemable after the FootballTeam World Cup ends
  
  

One code = one character.

Each code can be used only once.

Codes cannot be reused.

🌍 World Cup is a Season. History Lasts Forever.

Although the World Cup is a closed tournament:

• Medals

• Trophies

• Cards

• Hall of Fame entries

• Earned Credits

…will remain with you permanently.

This is not just another server.
This is an event.
This is history — written by you.

See you at the World Cup!

Transfer of Medals and Trophies to Main Account

After the official conclusion of the FootballTeam World Cup server, all tournament rewards will be finalized and prepared for distribution.

This includes:

• 🏅 Medals

• 🏆 Trophies

• 🗿 Statues (Top Scorer, Top Assist, Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender, etc.)

• 💰 Credits
  
  

📩 How Will You Receive Your Rewards?

All rewards will be sent as individual codes to the email linked to your account.

Once you receive the message, you can redeem the code and assign the reward to any character on any server.

ATTENTION 

📩 Already have an account and don’t want another one? Exchange your account for Credits

For players who plan to return to their main account after the national team server ends, we have prepared a special option.

If you do not want your character from the national team server to be transferred, and instead plan to return to playing your main character on the Legacy or Classic server, you can exchange your account directly for Credits.

How does it work?

The value of the account in Credits will be equal to the player’s current OVR at the moment the snapshot is taken.

After the final match, an official OVR ranking snapshot will be taken, and this snapshot will determine the value of the account.

Example:

A player has 10,000 OVR at the moment of the snapshot → they will receive 10,000 Credits.

This option applies only to the TOP 1000 players on the server. This means every player in the TOP 1000 can decide whether they want to keep their character and continue playing on the Legacy or Classic server, or exchange the account and receive Credits equal to their OVR value.

I want to exchange my character for Credits — what should I do?

Within 3 days after the final match, send us a support ticket from the account you want to exchange for Credits.

In the ticket, provide:

• the character, and the server to which the Credits should be transferred.

After receiving the request we will:

• verify the exact OVR value of your character at the time of the snapshot,
  calculate the number of Credits due,

• transfer them to the character you indicated.

⚠️ Important: The email address of the account on the national team server must be the same as the email address of the account that will receive the Credits.

Additional questions

Can I send Credits from more than one character to my account?
No. It is only possible to make a one-time transfer of Credits from one character to one character. Additionally, both accounts must be linked to the same email address.

If my account is flagged, will I still be able to send Credits to it?
Yes, this will still be possible. However, the rule still applies that the email address must match the main account.

I already have Credits on the account I’m exchanging — what happens to them?
If the account contains more than 1000 Credits, they will be added to the pool resulting from the character’s OVR.

However, a 20% transfer fee will be charged on that part.

Example:
You have 10,000 OVR, and the account contains 1000 Credits.

The indicated account will receive 10,800 Credits:

• 10,000 Credits for OVR

• 800 Credits from the balance (1000 Credits minus 20% fee)

What happens to my account after the request?
After the Credits transfer is completed, the account will be permanently deleted along with all its contents.

If I exchange the account, will I lose other Credit rewards (e.g., for TOP 1000 placement)?
No. All other rewards will be sent as codes to the email address used to create the account.

SUMMARY

The upcoming World Cup server promises big emotions, fierce competition, and the fight for the highest goals. It’s time to start thinking about your strategy and building a dedicated squad to show that your team deserves the championship title! 🏆

We wish you lots of fun, many victories, and unforgettable football moments. Keep the competition fair, and let the excitement reach its peak! 🔥

See you on the server!

Best regards,

FootballTeam Crew
