We wanted to break down barriers': women's teams finally join Football Manager
"I manage to recruit Alex Greenwood to shore things up in the wake of Leah Williamson's injury and my late bid for Patri Guijarro, who wants to be part of my project, falls through at the last minute with the budget once again the problem. I demand answers from the board as to why they will not release more funds when the player-in-question wants to join, pointing out that our scouting report says she's a necessary replacement for Lia Walti."
"we win our opening game 5-0, a Chloe Kelly hat-trick and Emily Fox wonder-goal contributing, and Greenwood makes a solid first impression on her debut. All in all, Football Manager 26 is fun, and being able to play as the women's team I grew up supporting and with the players I have in-depth knowledge of on the back of covering them week-in week-out is really cool,"
Football Manager 26 introduces women's football, enabling managers to take charge of Arsenal ahead of the 2025–26 season. The in-game board restricts transfer funds, causing rejected bids for Aitana Bonmatí and a failed late pursuit of Patri Guijarro despite scouting recommendations. Alex Greenwood signs to cover Leah Williamson's injury and performs well on debut. The team opens the season with a 5-0 win featuring a Chloe Kelly hat-trick and an Emily Fox wonder-goal. The addition of women's teams integrates the women's game into football's cultural space alongside EA Sports FC, Panini, and Topps, aiming to attract new and existing players.
