Big news, Football Manager fans: FM and FIFA have just announced a multi-year partnership that brings all the official licenses of FIFA's biggest competitions to the game, including the Club World Cup and the World Cup.
But that's not all, as this is part of a revamped international management feature that will arrive at Football Manager 26 a few months after release.
International Management is Coming!
Not much is known about the new international management feature, but we already know it will arrive at the game via an update, which will be available for PC, consoles, and FM Touch.
Furthermore, the FIFA World Cup 26 has been confirmed to be the game, with official broadcast graphics, tournament sponsors, and the official kits of all 48 teams.
This is one of the best news Football Manager fans could ask for. Not having an international management in the game in a World Cup year would be incredibly disappointing and a huge blunder by Sports Interactive, as no other competition in the world of sports is as important as the FIFA World Cup.
The biggest sporting event in the world is part of the sport your game is about, so having it in the game is an absolute must. An improved international management feature is also very welcome, as the feature had more than its fair share of problems.
Fixing those issues, as well as making some good additions to the feature, can make international management fun again and will certainly increase the percentage of players who coach a national team in Football Manager 26.
