❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

This FAQ covers common issues around matchday, tactics, chemistry, seasons, rewards, FC, stadiums and cosmetics. If something still looks wrong after following these checks, use the Footium Discord ticket system or contact support through the help centre.

Do I earn FC from home matches?

Yes. Every home league match earns Footium Currency (FC) for your club.

Draws pay capacity × division. Wins pay more. Losses pay less. Higher divisions earn more FC per home match.

Important: if you field an ineligible team (empty slot, suspended or injured player selected), that home match pays 0 FC. Check Tactics before kick-off.

FC Earned = Stadium Capacity × Result Multiplier × Division Multiplier

Why did I earn 0 FC from a home match?

The most common reason is an ineligible team. If your club fields an ineligible line-up for a home match, such as a missing slot, an injured player, a suspended player or another unavailable player, you will not earn FC from that match. Check your notifications, as they can include a breakdown when you earned 0 FC from a match.

To avoid this, check your Tactics page before kick-off. Make sure every slot is filled, no suspended or injured players are selected, and no player in training is in the squad.

Why can’t I select a player?

A player may be unavailable because they are injured, suspended or currently in training. Players in training cannot play or sit on the bench. Injured players cannot play, train or recover condition until the injury ends. Suspensions can come from a red card or from accumulating three yellow cards in a season.

Why did my player get injured?

Players can be injured after matches, not during them. The risk is based entirely on the condition they finish on. Any player finishing at or below 60% condition has a chance of a 25-hour injury. The risk is small near the top of that range, stays low through the 50s, then rises sharply as condition falls.

Training can also create injury risk if a player finishes training at or below 60% condition.

How do Pep Talks work?

Pep Talks let you write a short speech for a player before a match. They cost 5% condition and can move the player rating from -5 to +5 for the next few matches. A boost fades by 1 every 48 hours. A negative hit recovers by 1 every 24 hours. Pep Talks reset at 02:00 UTC every day (03:00 UK during British Summer Time, 02:00 UK in winter). Each club gets one Pep Talk per reset window.

Good Pep Talks are specific to the player, role and match situation. Generic motivation may only give a small lift, and poor or unhelpful speeches can hurt the player.

Why did my chemistry drop?

Chemistry is affected by positional fittedness. Players in dark green and light green positions are good fits. Yellow, orange and red positions reduce chemistry, with red having the largest negative impact. If you change formation or move players during a live match, you may accidentally push several players into poor-fit roles.

Rare players boost team chemistry, and Legendary players provide a larger boost, but they still need to make sense in your line-up.

Why have my live changes not happened yet?

Live tactical changes take a few in-game minutes to take effect after you submit them. You cannot queue changes, but you can submit multiple changes at once, such as a formation change, substitutions and mentality change.

How long is a season?

Each league has 12 teams. Every club plays every other club twice, making 22 matches. One match is played per day during the season.

How do promotion and relegation work?

The top two clubs in each league are promoted, unless already in Division 1. The bottom four are relegated, unless already in Division 8. Division 1 has no promotion and Division 8 currently has no relegation.

How do I claim rewards?

At the start of the following season, connect the relevant wallet and go to your club home page. The Reward Claim section shows rewards won by clubs owned by your wallet at the snapshot date. Click claim and complete the transaction. Rewards must be claimed before the end of the following season.

Why am I not eligible for rewards?

Your club must be active. At least one of these actions must be completed during the season: set a line-up, sign an academy player, register a player, make a live match change, or train a player. Ownership at the reward snapshot also matters.

Why did my stand drop a size?

Each stand above XS has a 33% chance of requiring maintenance at the start of a season. If a stand needs work and you do not pay during the season, it drops one size tier at season rollover. XS stands are maintenance-free.

Do stadium materials affect performance?

No. Stadium size affects capacity, FC earnings and home match performance. Material is cosmetic only.

Do badges and cosmetics affect matches?

The supplied source does not verify performance effects for badge upgrades or general cosmetics. Treat them as identity items unless the live game description says otherwise.

Which ownership package should I choose?

Use the in-game checkout as the source of truth. Current options are Community Takeover ($19.99), Local Backer ($39.99), Investor Group ($79.99) and Oil Money ($199.99). Community Takeover and Investor Group see the caretaker squad leave at season end, while Local Backer and Oil Money keep your squad. You can pay by card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or Footium Wallet. There is a 14-day money back guarantee (T&Cs apply). Check whether the package keeps your current squad, whether included players are tradable, how much FC is included, whether coaching sessions are included, and whether referral rewards apply.

Where should I check for current dates and changes?

Use in-game announcements, season announcements and Discord. Exact season dates, transfer windows, auction details and some live values can change between seasons.

How do I delete my account?

To permanently delete your Footium account, including Footium: Road to Glory, open Settings → Delete account in the app or on the website and confirm.

Before deleting, export your wallet or move your assets through Wallet settings. You may lose access to your embedded wallet. Deletion cannot be undone and does not transfer or destroy your clubs, players or funds.

What is deleted: your sign-in account, private profile, marketing preferences, inbox and activity records, and private Pep Talk text. Associated marketing records are erased or suppressed.

What is retained: wallet-linked ownership and shared game history for game integrity, plus a limited account-deletion record to prevent further access. Public blockchain records cannot be erased. Production logs are retained for 30 days.

If you cannot sign in or no longer have the app, request account deletion through the chat in the bottom-right corner of this site. We may need to verify account ownership. Support hours are 9am–5pm, Monday–Friday UK time, and requests are completed within 24 hours.

Uninstalling the app does not delete your account.
